Well the stinking tag is called FORMURL2attributes, not ALLVARS2attributes.
So I like the flexibility of having my form and url vars in attribs, but
don't really care about my xfa vars. Using your rationale, it would seem
that every var you ever use would be attributes, which I know is not right.
I just make a decision to only scope certain things certain ways.
