further nesting for credentials #76

The js api recurses over the directory structure, finding keys, and exposing everything as a searchable JSON structure.

Now that this api is being used by a queryable http api, it's apparent that this repo could benefit from a further nested structure.

/<continent>/<country>/<region>/<city>/<neighbourhood>/credential.k would expose more search terms that users could employ to find nearby nodes.

While more info is always great for finding closer peers, what about those people who might not want to volunteer data that precise? For instance, I'm happy to volunteer I live in Virginia, but I don't usually mention where.

It could be optional, but in any case the public node would only work if an IP is provided. People can find where your node is already (not you), this would only improve discoverability of nodes which are intended to be public anyway.

Fair enough. +1 for further nesting.
