It's been over 10 years since I've looked at STL, so this is just a
nudge in the (right?) direction...

Doesn't the STL have an array class? Perhaps list, or at least vector?
That knows the number of current elements?

Might not A_Attrib be a list of string?
And might not NodeType then be a map of list of string?

Then, there is the "C" way, which someone already suggested:
std::string	A_Attrib[]={"a0","a1","a2",NULL};
std::string	B_Attrib[]={"b0",NULL};

Go until you reach NULL.
	string*s = Node["A"]
	while( *s != NULL )
	{	use s;
		++s;
	};
