Ok, I gave the spec a second reading and got the distinction between
d-bus related properties and item's properties, which are called
attributes. However, giving them all in a single nested map is
misleading. Why not simply have two parameters :
- properties "a{ss}"
- attributes "a{ss}"
That way this would ensure users correctly understand that item's
attributes are only strings (I also like this more simpler type).

Any thoughts?
