They certainly are. However-- like canvas coords-- what's the best format
to get them in? If you separate them out into individual "attribute value"
messages they may be much easier to read and figure out, but a single
"attribute value(s)" message is easier to unpack/change/repack. Then
again, a single "attribute value(s)" message with lots of cryptic numeric
values is difficult to read-- just think about all the questions to the list about
what all the args for an iemgui mean, or donecanvasdialog, etc...
