If this is true, isn't this sufficiently encapsulated
to soften the impact of change. All the access is
with the Attributed interface. If order is required,
shouldn't be the end of the world.
P.O. holds an AttribuedImpl. Even P.O. doesn't know
it has a hashtable. In the early code, I used
hashtable, but substituted with AttributedImpl.
The outside world gets an enumeration of attrs.
