But that's not uniform. In this case, attribute value is explicitly set to "?" 
in the symbol. Now, when an attribute value is *explicitly* set by the 
schematic or symbol designer, there shouldn't be anything in the common code 
that changes it. Making special cases like this is a move *away* from uniform 
handling of attributes.
