              True. I think "attic" in this case would refer to a place
              where you store old things, so it relates to old data.<br>

            <div>Based on zero context other than what list it arrived
              on, I figured it was like tags from an import nobody uses
              anymore, like some of the long-in-tooth <font
                face="monospace, monospace">tiger:*=*</font> namespace
              still common in the US.</div>
