I believe this functionality is extremely important, and is a good example of the cool things that the ACS 4 data model was designed to support.

Well, kind of. It's designed to support runtime addition of attributes to objects, but it doesn't quite work, which is why this custom solution for groups and group_types was added in 4.2. Ideally this core service would be fixed and expanded (object types could themselves be objects, enabling runtime addition of attributes to object types without DDL) so that all modules can take advantage.
