I'm going to make a bold claim here: 19 out 20 queries will be for status 
retrieval. However that is very easy to extract from a query containing 
all the local information, so I don't really see the value of "give me 
some of the local information" vs. "give me all the local information". 
Just give it all, and I can extract what I need.

On a side note: I have intended to look at the queryresult types before 
suggesting this, but haven't gotten around to it: Are the two query result 
types so different that they couldn't be one? (making the tree optional).
