Yeah, that is what we had originally. This just pushes out the
different attr selection from the nest one level up to the actualy
nesting attribute.

One downside of this is you will have 2 arrays of parent objects,
one per parent type. Current code neatly groups them into a single array.

I guess this is a matter of personal preference, I'm fine either way.
