If you didn't have this behavior, you would be conflating 
the child:: and attribute:: axes into a single axes possibly 
called child-or-attribute-can't-tell-which::. Put another way, 
if you accept the need for attributes, you need an axis to 
address them on and for granularity reasons, this axis 
should be distinct from the child:: axis.

Dan
