SubmitObjectsRequest works in the other direction from my statement, which
requires a ReturnObjectTreeRequest that outputs a complete set of linked
objects below a given "root node" (which may or may not be the root of the
classification scheme)

getPath only returns a single node. Note that I set "set of nodes". Using a
range statement I should be able to retrieve any fragment of an existing
classification scheme that is relevant.
