 Oh, yeah. No matter which way we go we'll be confusing someone, since
 there are languages that call what we call an attribute an attribute.

[Paolo's property and attribute for .net explanation snipped]

Okay, now I'm *really* confused. This seems to contradict the 
explanations in the "C# in a Nutshell" book, assuming that C# and 
.NET use the same underlying terminology. OTOH I could be misreading 
the book, and OTTH I'd be foolish to not take Paolo's explanation as 
most correct. I think I may well just chop out part of the glossary.

I swear, I'm going to rename these things to Fred and Barney and not 
tell anyone which is which...
