Great, thanks for posting this information. Why did you create
the various new attributes? I wasn't planning on creating any new
attributes and the existing slotting mechanism would stay the same
(for the most part).
Your approach to this is certainly quite novel and I can
understand why you have split the information into two pieces. I'm not
even sure if my approach will even work (who knows it might have some
sort of unknown fatal flaw that I am yet to find). I'll send out more
info once I feel the risks are a bit more under control. And then we
can compare these two mechanisms. Certainly your mechanism is way less
vaporous than mine as of now. :)
