I have always disliked attributes since they do not fit into my "services
are entities which exchnage messages" view of the world. In fact I like
attributes farless than I like operation, since at least operation is just a
label for an exchange of messages, whereas attributes introduce something
which fundamentally does not fit here.

too :-)
