No, I'm using DataTree::getParentList() right now to get a list of 
parents and then do the permissions check.  The problem with that is 
that there is a separate query to the database for each parent in the 
list which could become a performance problem.  What I want is something 
to extract all the information needed in one shot.  I'll have to look at 
the DataTree more carefully to determine if this is possible (I can't 
imagine it wouldn't be, I'd just have to copy the DataTree::getParents() 
method and expand it to get information other than just the names and 
ids of the parents, right?).
