Unfortunately (AFAIK, it's been a while...) you can only get the Type of an Attribute that's applied to a class (Type.GetCustomAttributes()), not an instantiation of that attribute (Type vs. RuntimeType). I couldn't find a way to get the value of a property from just a Type.
I may just be getting confused, initially when I tried doing this, I was trying to get the property values of attributes on mono classes loaded by the MS runtime. Apparently the MS runtime doesn't handle instantiating a Type with the same name as a class that's already loaded, even though it's from a different assembly. It probably should, but I'm not surprised that case didn't get tested.

My thought was to recursively drill down the attribute's properties (with GetProperties(bindingFlags)) and get the values for the properties that are "basic" types, i.e. ints, strings, etc. Is this too naive?
