I didn't propose it. I have never copied man pages to the wiki and 
have no intention to.

Well, from a user point of view, the separation is blurry.

How about: Like the drop-down list of default attributes the add 
Attribute line presents.
	netname
	footprint
	value
	refdes
	source
	...

I guess, this order was determined by intuition of a developer 
long time ago. Suggestion: take this list as a default order for
the list of attributes. Make this default configurable in gschemrc.
Ouups, this is another feature request ;^)
