Ok so thanks to your feedback today, here's a first pass at flattening the
Atom into INI file <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initialization_file> format
(basically what you had but with "=" for human & computer readability):

[decca5a5-8952-4004-9793-cdbbf05c3c63]
category = server
title = Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 Virtual Appliance
summary = Base installation of Debian GNU/Linux 5.0
content.cpu = 2
content.memory = 4Gb
link.disk[0].id = 4696b561-a253-42b4-bd27-7aa4950e0a60
link.disk[0].dev = sda
link.network[0].id = 45a73b80-c957-4ae1-97c6-b70652eba1d1
link.network[0].dev = eth0
mc.state = RUNNING
br.meter.rate = 0.10
br.meter.currency = USD
br.meter.unit = hours
br.meter.total = 35.27
pm.monitor.cpu = 75.2
pm.monitor.mem = 1059374258
mc.ops.start = http://example.com/decca5a5-8952-4004-9793-cdbbf05c3c63/ops/start
mc.ops.stop = http://example.com/decca5a5-8952-4004-9793-cdbbf05c3c63/ops/stop
mc.ops.restart =
http://example.com/decca5a5-8952-4004-9793-cdbbf05c3c63/ops/restart
mc.ops.suspend =
http://example.com/decca5a5-8952-4004-9793-cdbbf05c3c63/ops/suspend

[4696b561-a253-42b4-bd27-7aa4950e0a60]
category = storage
content.size = 148251374
link.self = virtual-disk.vmdk

[45a73b80-c957-4ae1-97c6-b70652eba1d1]
category = network
content.vlan = 4095
content.dhcp = true
content.subnet = 192.168.0.0
content.netmask = 255.255.0.0
content.gateway = 192.168.0.1
av.com.cisco.cdp = true

Note in the last line that vendors can safely extend the schema with
attribute/value pairs for things like CDP.

Anyway I have to scurry off to the CloudCampParis organisers' meeting - back
around 7.

Cheers,

Sam
