Looks like at the moment, we read in and discard the last value(s),
but we could easily use it to set the subdomain_id...

Apparently there can be any number of "attributes" specified for each
element, but I don't think there's a way to specify in the file what
each attribute means.

Could you send me a much smaller example mesh file (or tell me the
steps used to create it)?  I've never used tetgen directly before.

I also suspect this code will need a few updates for ParallelMesh...
