File Object

["Jordan, Bret" <bret.jordan@bluecoat.com>]

Right now in the File Object some of the properties are artificially nested.  These properties deal with the file system aspects of a file.  The argument is that not all files have these and thus it should be nested. 

This IMHO, violates one of our core objectives of flatter is better than nested.  I feel it would be better to have these fields be flattened and just made optional.

This is something we do throughout STIX and is part of our holistic design principles.
