The solution is in there, but sort of
buried. I tried to beef it up in the latest version. Also added some explanations
of why it's limited to metadata attributes (ie exactly how much processing
logic and rules are involved in prepping any given base attribute to become
specializable).

I second Paul's request. I would very much like to see a concrete proposal.
I'd also like to hear some clarification on why adding attributes is OK
for metadata attributes but not in the general case.
