Attributes are flags which can be ORed (at least they were intended to
be ORed).
However currently, there are only 2 attributes, which are (obviously)
mutually exclusive:
VIRTUAL
MOD_SMD

the "Attribute" NORMAL is in fact no attribute.

in muonde.cpp, you can see VIRTUAL|MOD_SMD like a (minor) bug in a
rather old code.
