- Ok, now that we have all shown ourselves to be totally anal (including
- myself) when it comes to worrying about attributions, can we please
- (Pretty Pleeeease!) stop this boring and incredibly long discussion???

- fraught with ambiguities and therefore totally unsatisfying as a topic
- for discourse, except in the simplest of cases (e.g., "Hey, you just
- cut my attribute! Put it back!").
