    Description

      The wicket model classes need to expand, we need models for:
      1> list/table views over the mixin types of a node
      2> list/table views over child nodes of a node
      4> tree views that think differently about what constitutes a 'node'.
      5> tree views that know more about the performance characteristics of the underlying model

      An example of Item <5> is the recent optimization in JcrNodeModel where some knowledge about the internals of HIPPO_FACETRESULT and HIPPO_FACETSEARCH
      is used to speed up the tree.

      JcrNodeModel currently implements three interfaces:
      1> IWrapModel for 'wrapping' a JcrItemModel
      2> TreeNode for providing data to tree views on individual jcr nodes
      3> IDataProvider for providing data to list/table views on the properties of a node

      Since a class cannot implement the same interface more than once this needs some refactoring:
      1> Split up JcrNodeModel, make separate model classes for the TreeNode and IDataProvider implementations.
      2> Make plugins 'typed' (ie. let them specify what type of view they need).
      3> Add more implementations of IDataProvider and TreeNode on an as-needed basis.
      4> Plugins should be able to provide their own model classes in case they need a specific model, in other words models should also be 'pluggable'
