Please do not confuse people -- keep in mind that for many novices
workflow is gschem --> PCB.

Attributes like "net=MyADC1Input:1" work fine for this flow, with many
sheets/schematics, see may DSO project.

netname attribute is fine, but I prefer a visible symbol, which I can
move around. (I know I can move around a named net segment too...)
