Right, sort of an optional qualifier, which we could make either 
implicit or explicit, for instance:

        [<qualifier>:]<name>=<value>

        name=string,bge0;class=int,1;property:mtu=int,9000;

Sounds like any of the alternatives requires to reserve at least one 
character (leading underscore, colon, etc) for special use.
