hi all,
I am strongly pro-attributes too, in general. However, I wonder whether specifying tooltip text with attributes in an object box is the best possible idea (unless the same attributes could be specified in the properties dialog as well, as Thomas mentioned).
Actually, I find it redundant and clumsy, to have the same text both in an inlet (or outlet) object box, and in the tip (when mousing over the inlet or outlet object's outlet or inlet). Besides, screen space is precious.
So, for the time being, I would rather use properties.
Btw, Guenter, you did not mean tooltips to be single-word only, did you?

I have been planning simply to put inlet attributes as arguments, once the correct design becomes apparent.

On the other hand, i'm also very pro-attributes (like in Max/Jitter), which is a way to simplify/unify inspector stuff a lot.
