Matthew is right... it's a bit half-baked right now.
However, I still think it's good practice to use the attribute system atleast to the extent of "documenting" your object attributes. This involves:
* calling acs_attribute__create_attribute for the various attributes of your object type
* calling define_function_args for your object's methods (ie, __new, etc)
By doing so, you can take advantage of some existing cool features (eg, package_instantiate_object) as well as potential future features which might use the attributes system (eg, dynamic form generation).
