I would highly suggest you don't think this way. I simplified the attribute 
model to just key/value pairs because I thought we could do it better than 
MS. However I found out that their way was best and reverted to their 
attributes. In Info they are currently represented as;

<tag name="x">
  <param name="A" value="aa"/>
  <param name="B" value="bb"/>
</tag>

Thats how they represent attributes and it makes it easier to work with. 
Especially when grouping, inheriting and dealing with multiplicity.
