Well, I need to make some tests, but with:
var hostAttributes = new Array();
hostAttributes.name = "hostname";
hostAttributes.groups = "somegroup";

You can not know if the array is empty or not because these attributes
does not modify hostAttributes.length[1].

I use an Scriptint.Dictionary because I needed the .count to test for
null <host />.

I'll give a try to {}.

Regards.
