[attr, attr2] feels more like what it is, an annotation. It

the @attr syntax looks like existing attributes, and with that

the presumption that they actually DO something, affect the
code generated
in some way.
For that reason, I buy the argument that [attrs...] being
visually distinct
makes more sense, more like what it is.
Perhaps it should be termed 'annotation' rather than
'attribute'?

Maybe not that specific page, but it comes from the big
annotation discussions.
