Peter,

Several people have given examples of how nested attributes work, I'm trying
to leave it open for the easiest way that whois++ would support them.

Typically you have something like a template being.

URN: urn:xyz.abc:123456
Author: Mike
URL: ftp://path.net/here
Cost: $1.00
URL: gopher://free.net/there
Cost: 0

Note that the position of the Cost attribute is significant, they each apply
to the URL above them, not to the URN.

Ole and Mike both proposed similar schemes, I dont think anyone cares
how it appears in a template, but we do need to know that this is possible.
