I think if this is going to involve any kind of a major change to the 
current way of doing things, we want not to push next week's release 
back by a week (which might be a problem for Hugh who has cleared a day, 
for example), but to put off these changes until after this release, so 
that we can have several months to spot problems in the Jinks versions 
before we release again. (In other words, even a week isn't enough. This 
is supposed to be a maintenance release, not a major new re-architecture.)

I like that idea, yes. It *might* be a little bit confusing for people 
who don't know or care about attribute classes, but it would be pretty 
transparent. (Especially if a tool-tip were to add "Does not inherit the 
attribute @bar from att.duck" or similar.)
