Sure you _can_ but it would be quite stupid. With user defined types 
there is at least some context. With a plain string (or any built in 
type) it can come from any where and mean anything.

The difference is, with a user defined type you know the meaning of the 
attribute, with a built in type you do not, not in the same way at least.
