Hi.

Another thing to consider is that attributes can hold multiple elements
(array attributes). You might consider whether or not you could use this
feature to capture your information without adding more complex
structures. It won't have strict CF compliance, since CF doesn't
consider it.

Grace and peace,

Jim
