I hope so :-) The flexibility coming from user defined attributes (that 
sometimes can be seen a extensions to the type system) is one of the most 
important purposes of attributes. But they are mostly an additive change 
compared to the current situation, so they can be added to D3.

Right now think of it as another namespace where you can add new keywords, 
avoiding the risk/annoyance of having a variable with the same name.
