Sure, I'd assumed that there was a use case for it to be in there in the 
first place, and was just pointing out this seemed inconsistent with the

I understand, I just couldn't see how if you already support both global 
and local selectors and for one you want to repeat attributes, why that 
would not be the case for the other. It just seemed a bit inconsistent, 
but that thought is probably a bit abstract seeing I can't recall the 
use case offhand.
