Two use cases we encountered in the past for putting children in a property:
- Translations. Depending on the data, the translation can be a further
property inside the property, or it can be a sibling, with each language
version having a property containing the language code.
- And misc:metadata, of course; you can surely imagine lots of situations
where you'd want to store a date, author information, etc for a property,
right?
