API origin as country attribute #61

We have national API catalogue PoC at apisuomi.fi and we would love to use apis.io as base for all APIs and pull Finland origin APIs to catalogue via apis.io API. I took a look at the spec but I was not able to find any attribute that would be something like origin or country. Such attribute (not mandatory) would enable API listing filtering.

Perhaps this could be applied http://problem-xml.sourceforge.net/schemaReference/schemas/vcard_xsd/elements/ADR.html

<vCard:adr>
    <vCard:street>Perston House</vCard:street>
    <vCard:locality>Perston</vCard:locality>
    <vCard:region>Perstonshire</vCard:region>
    <vCard:pcode>P1 0NS</vCard:pcode>
    <vCard:country>Finland</vCard:country>
</vCard:adr>

or as simple as: Country: Finland

This is definitely something I will be considering for inclusion in next release. Doing review for it this week. Thanks for suggesting.
