That would mean creating more keywords, which would break code. By using @, we 
avoid having to create new keywords, which I believe was the whole point in 
the first place. Which attributes got @ on them was fairly arbitrary, but they 
do definitely serve a purpose. And any new attributes in the future will 
probably have @ on them for the same reason.
