I tend to agree that the current behaviour meets 99% of the functional
requirements but I do understand where the original poster is coming from.

Like Luke, I don't see why an additional attribute can't be added but I
don't see it as a critical security issue.  Not to say it should not be
developed but IMHO I see the risk of a compromise through this as low
and hence feel there is a low ROI in fixing it.  If someone wants to
pony up some code and tests...
