	This is the intended behavior. Those visible attributes (afer en)
are not editable at the schematic level.  I'm currently working on a
way to allow these attributes to be auto-promoted (just have to find
the time).  In the mean-time either 1) make a copy of the symbol in
the local directory and edit that or 2) attached an attribute to the
instanciated component in the schematic to override what is in the symbol.
