When I had mentioned STCBUSER, I was a little surprised that no one asked "what 
about TCBUSER"?

No "protocol" was ever defined for TCBUSER in terms of "who is allowed to use 
it" so we have always felt it too dangerous to use ourselves (in case there are 
two conflicting potential users).
The field exists; as the attacher or attachee you could probably get away with 
using it. But is "probably" enough?

We tried to address that shortcoming within (much newer) field STCBUSER with 
the comment:
Owner: target module of the ATTACH. Must be set only by that module or a module 
in its component
