Well, that's precisely the thing that doesn't scale and that Nicolas wanted to avoid. Putting the properties at the beginning of an entry makes the search pretty much constant time and if you find something else at the start of the entry then you know there aren't any and can go on (this is pretty important for making sure property inheritance works correctly, among other things). If you could put them _anywhere_ else, you'd have to keep searching until you either find them or you've exhausted the span of the entry.
