Thanks for these comments.  My present thinking is that gnx's relate
solely to the node identify that Leo has always supported.  All other
attributes are "temporary" and "mutable".  That doesn't make those
attributes useless in any way.

The *representation* of these temporary and mutable attributes would
be via clones, implemented as usual with "permanent" (until deleted)
identity (gnx's).  These clones would be created when Leo reads the
.leo file containing the attributes.

This scheme gives us everything we want:  attributes can change, but
while they are in effect they create clones as usual.  It's quite like
a dynamic clone-find-all command, except that the attributes specified
can be more general than a search pattern.
