Also preferences are bound here. (This is not the only kind of thing
that preferences can be bound to, but experience shows that we need

I have no clue what that sentence means, but I suppose that you mean
that the current representation is something like (in mock-ABNF)
member := address fullname *attribute
and you want to change that to
member := address fullname preferences
preferences := *attribute

Ah so you don't mean what I wrote above, you want to represent
preferences as a table with
row = preference-owning-entity att_name att_key
?
