Alther minor benefit to the flatter structure means that the "smart
merging" of multiple JSON parameters works a little better in
conjunction with facets.
For example, if you already had a "top_genre" facet, you could insert
a "top_author" facet more easily:
json.facet.top_genre.facet.top_author={type:terms, field:author, limit:5}
(For anyone who doesn't know what "smart merging" is, see
