I guess it depends. I find it easier to see that it's an

Is foo an attribute or not?

  @attribute
  @displayName("foo")
  struct foo {}

I don't know really. In that bottom example, the struct 
declartion almost disappears among all the attributes.

Yeah.. But at least you'll always know where to look.

@[serializable, xmlRoot, attribute, displayName("foo")]
struct foo {}

@[serializable, xmlRoot, displayName("foo")]
struct @foo {}

but attribute could be required as the last type, and on a line 
of it's own, giving:

@[serializable, xmlRoot, displayName("foo")]
@attribute
struct foo {}
