The current walker restrictions are from a previously agreed decision
by Amit/Tomas [1] and from an earlier suggestion from Andres [2] to
keep everything very simple for a first version.
Yes, you are right, there might be some additional node types that
might be fine, but at this time I don't want to add anything different
without getting their approval to do so. Anyway, additions like this
are all candidates for a future version of this row-filter feature.

YMMV. IMO it is much more convenient for all the filter validations to
be centralized just in one walker function instead of scattered all
over the place like they were in the 0001 patch.
