I think the question is why isn't it: {"addr":"700 First Ave"}

  This is just a stab in the dark but the other method would allow for metadata on individual fields, although I can't think of what kind of metadata you'd want to add to a street address.

    I think the primary purpose is to annotate values with type information to make the format self-describing.

    You could have versioning information, expiry time, or type information for the field.

  Sherpa supports field expiry. {"addr": {"value : "700 First Ave", "expiretime" : 1244146191 }}
