This is rather depressing, especially for the semiconductor industry, since every company that I know of uses entity attributes for graphics, according to the ECIX standard (the standard formerly known as Pinnacles). This seems like a major oversight to me. This may be an example of the standards committee getting insufficient feedback from implementers, because I'm sure that there are many industries that use entity attributes for this purpose. Could we get a show of hands to see how many people require this functionality?
