A few comments about this proposal.

We have an existing convention for naming arbitrary property values.
This is used for the attribute action, and is how we store attributes in
a manifest.  Check out src/modules/actions/attribute.py for the code.

> [attribute]
> title = "..."
> uuid = "..."

This would instead look something like

<attribute identifier>
name = "title"
value = "..."

<attribute identifier>
name = "uuid"
value = "..."

We intend to blow-up the cfg_cache in the fullness of time.  It might be
worthwhile to think about other ways of storing these attributes.  Are
you going to have a lot of these things?
