Any chance you could expand on this idea a little?

I think I understand that a grove is a collection of node classes and 
properties, and that the grove plan describes what the components are 
(and perhaps how they are encoded in some way, perhaps even an XML 
format).  That's about as far as I get.  My reading on groves hasn't 
found any place that describes how changes in plans are shipped 
around, nor can I find where changes in a grove as made by some 
application are packaged into a message that can be interpreted by 
another applications plan.
