I disagree. While I still dislike the AF attribute remapping syntax, I
think there was a whole complex of great ideas lurking in there that
failed to succeed because the language used to describe them was more or
less completely impenetrable. I know I pretty well completely failed to
understand it, and only kind of got it when walked through step by step
with lots of examples, and subsequently remained completely unable to
follow the discussions among the cognoscenti.
