Yes it's a pretty common use-case.

Right now you may use an AMPList with a single element. This is perfectly fine. Perhaps a wrapper class that restricts it to a single value would suffice?

It would be easy to commit to Twisted probably.

just a thought

> Use case: my responses have a "location", but a location is composed of several sub-things: place name, country and postal code. {"location": {"placeName": "Krakow", "countryCode": "PL", postalCode: "30-015"}} would be a lot nicer  than having those keys in the top level namespace :)

I do not necessarily agree. I think namespace prefixing, if well defined, is fine on AMP arguments appearing in the top-level packet. Alternatively the AMPList approach is there.

(JSON in AMP Arguments works pretty well I hear, too).
