The data can be thought of as a serialised object. A simple attribute
looks like:
[name someWebsphereObject]
or
[jndiName []]
if 'jndiName is None'.
A complex attribute is an attribute whose value is itself an object
(or dict if you prefer). The *value* is indicated with "[...]":
[connectionPool "[[agedTimeout 0]
[connectionTimeout 180]
[freePoolDistributionTableSize 0]
[maxConnections 10]
[minConnections 1]
[numberOfFreePoolPartitions 0]
[numberOfSharedPoolPartitions 0]
[unusedTimeout 1800]]"]
However, 'propertySet' is effectively a keyword and its value may be
thought of as a 'data table' or 'list of data rows', where 'data row'
== dict/object
You can see how the posted example is incomplete because the last
'row' is missing all but one 'column'.

I think only 2 (the original isn't Python). To fix the example, remove
the last 'description' and add two ]'s

By the way, I think this would be a good example for the pyparsing
recipes page (even an IBM developerworks article?)
