If you created a custom attribute struct and methods for yourself, you would not have to have the show/store methods on the same structure. The structure, and the ##item_show/store macros, are a convenience way to do it. It certainly could be done differently. I cloned the sysfs approach at the time. Note that sysfs has a different methodology for defining attributes now.
