In general it's poor design to take text content from attributes,
because that precludes having markup (e.g. if a bibliographic reference
italicizes "et al." in the list of authors or puts a journal volume
number in bold, or has Japanese ruby annotations). So I'm a little wary
of this. See [Quin, Rueben, Io _et. al_, 1984_b_] for details :-).
