I'm sure it's already covered somewhere in the wiki, but we are going  
to save the AND attributes in tags too (where possible) when  
importing/converting aren't we? So we don't necessarily need to make  
use of every attribute that they have straight away, it would be  
possible to add some later if necessary?
