No problem, as long that this discussion does not end with "let's use
free text instead of attributes"... Which is not what you are advocating
- so no problem.
But wherever something can be encoded in an attribute instead of
expressed in free text, that is where it should be. But, as this
conversation underlines, there might be a diminishing return in encoding
extremely rare attributes.
