Thanks for the congrats, Danny! Hope the brain dump is useful to you.
Answer: Yes, MVBlocks must be tag anchored to an object in order to have
data show up in attributes. Your suggestion is a very good idea and would be
trivial to implement, but I believe that implementation would break the
current rules for an extension. I recommend posting this on the wishes
group.
Thanks!
