This loses the nesting that protocols have.  I'd like to see the each 
nested protocol as member of the parent protocol.  Besides the lovely } 
} }s in the json representation, this allows us to have more complicated 
protocols, for example a mirror protocol that has two child protocol 
each specifying a different backing store.
