I agree that the lack of attributes is a problem with the JSON
mapping.

The problem with your solution is that it adds noise to the normal
case where there are no attributes.  We're using another encoding:

   "host-name": "router",
   "@host-name": {
       "protect": "protect",
       ...
    }

Yep, not very elegant...
