Yes.

I think the gattrib effort is justified, when it can be integrated into
gschem. I know -- different tools for different task. But for me
creating a schematic is one task, we should have a graphical, and a
spreadsheet view. I will try to realize something like that for my ruby
gschem clone -- maybe in far future.

I was indeed thinking of an attribute <--> Speadsheet conversion -- for
me the problem was, that schematics are not really flat, symbols have
attributes and pins, and pins have again attributes. I still have to
learn how that java program solves that problem.

Best wishes,
