This whole debate is about legality, not meaning.  Defining that they always
all have the same legality erodes the usefulness of the colon notation
especially, since one could try to use it and then be forced to move a
declaration to which it doesn't make sense to above the attribute, which can
get annoying if you want to place declarations in some intuitive or logical
order.
