Hi Mirko,
(Please keep all correspondance on the public list)
It is kind of complex but essentially when you do see attributes in that
list it is an artifact of that feature type coming form an older (pre 2.0)
data directory. If you really want the details see this bug report:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-3294
So yeah, you will definitely want to go WFS DescribeFeatureType. But you can
also open an issue in the bug tracker for the rest api to include these
attributes.
