The difference is, with a user defined type you know the meaning of the
attribute, with a built in type you do not, not in the same way at least.
The whole point of my example was no, you do not necessarily know the
meaning of a user-defined type that is used as an attribute.
i don't know what to say anymore. I can only repeat what I've already
