A couple of thoughts.

a) Is PluginAttribute really any clearer than PluginAttr?  
b) Take a look at the SyslogAppender, JMSTopicAppender and some of the other 
ones.  Changing PluginAttr to PluginAttribute adds 5 more characters to the 
lines. That may not seem like much but it forces the arguments to 
JMSTopicAppender to all be shifted to the left to avoid exceeding the line 
length. I'm guessing that if you did this you would probably do a mass change. 
But then you would have to run checkstyle and fix all the classes that you just 
created errors in.

Other than that, if the consensus is to change it I have no objection.
