	No mechanism exists for this currently, though there was some 
interest a while ago about being able to selectively promote attributes
(namely the source= attribute for example).  Looks like I will have to
start thinking about this.  Chances are I will create a list somewhere
(in an rc file) which lists all attributes which are promoted regardless
of their visibility.

	Out of curiosity, in what context do you want to promote 
invisible attributes (i.e. why do you want to do this)?
