I agree -- this seems useful. (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=175626).  We can have multiple attributes which use the same type (attrID) as long as they have different metadata.  This allows us to get all attributes back of a specified type (not differentiating by metadata)

The current model allows for multiple attributes of a given type, and multiple values of a given attribute (if we decided to do away with that, then yes, this applies)
