We've discussed it a bit in Davenport. One idea was to add an empty
placeholder parameter entity called something like "morph.elemname.attrib"
to each ATTLIST, so that you could provide different modules containing
non-empty morph.xxx.attrib definitions that map your elements to different
AFs. You'd especially need this where LINK isn't available, but some of
us found it an appealing idea regardless. (We decided not to adopt it for
DocBook.)
