Between content-slot-specified slots, attribute-specified slots,

I don't think mapping an attribute value to a slot is achievable with a
content element with select attribute.

attribute value into the insertion point in [1] [2] [3], not distributing an
element based on an attribute value.
Oh, interesting. That appears to be a complete non-sequitur, tho, as
no one has asked for anything like that. It's *certainly* irrelevant
