[Description] The response group, BrowseNodeInfo, used in BrowseNodeLookup requests returns the child and parent browse nodes of the browse node specified in the request. When a browse node has multiple parents, however, only one of the parent browse nodes is returned in the response. That is why there might be a difference between the ECS response and the result displayed on Amazon’s retail website. BrowseNodeInfo returns the entire lineage of both child and parent browse nodes. For example, in the following response snippet, the parentage of the browse node in the request, Social Sciences, is traced all the way up the browse node tree to the root browse node, Books. Also, all of the children of the node, Social Sciences, are returned. For the sake of brevity, the following response snippet shows only some of the returned child browse nodes. 0131856340 - - 11232 Social Sciences - - 53 Nonfiction - - 1000 Subjects - - 283155 Books - - 11233 Anthropology - 11242 Archaeology - 3048861 Children's Studies Notice that all of the nodes in the response show only one parent node, for example, the parent node of Social Sciences is Nonfiction. Only a single parent node would be returned even if a node had multiple parents. [Impact] Do not use BrowsenodeLookups that attempt to work "up" the browsenode hierarchy. [Issue] 
Not all parent browse nodes are returned by BrowseNodeInfo.
