Yes, please. Too few of the attributes have inverse attributes.

Being able to stick your defaults up at the top of your module 
and then overriding them only when needed would be very nice and 
make the code a lot more tidy.

Also, it'd be nice if you could optionally stick a @ before some 
of the attributes to make everything consistent looking.
