Probably.

I think so, many time people use extra attributes in the info tag to add
extra identification attributes. I don't really think putty meta information
such as the dependency management information in extra attributes is a good
fit. But I like the idea of keeping data from dependency management section.
Maybe a good way to do it would be to add a Map of properties to the module
descriptor. This would be another area of flexibility for Ivy users, and I'd
even see usage for Ivy files, if we actually make them usable as properties
in the Ivy file. Something like:
<ivy-module version="2.0">
<info org="foo" name="bar" />
<property name="foo.baz.revision" value="1.0.4" />
<dependencies>
<dependency org="foo" name="baz-api" rev="${foo.baz.revision}" />
<dependency org="foo" name="baz-main" rev="${foo.baz.revision}" />
<dependency org="foo" name="baz-other" rev="${foo.baz.revision}" />
</dependencies>
</ivy-module>
WDYT?
