I'm not sure that the form you have is more conveniant. It's harder to parse from a qpid pov and somewhat more error prone to write, primarily due to (users) having to keep count of quotes etc. The client has to have a parser, which if it was just flat props we'd get for free. I know properties files are the only JNDI sources we currently ship examples for but i don't think there's much value in doing something for this which would look very different for other backends when we could otherwise reuse bits. I think the extra verbosity is worth it for the extra simplicity in both the user experience and implementation.
