Hierarchy isn't the only reuse scenario. Consider transition from breadboard to 
prototype to production. A top-level schematic might not change, even though 
attributes of parts might change (different packages, tighter specs, ...). In 
that case, the instance-specific data can't be in *any* schematic.
