I agree that we should allow attributes to be possessed by things
other than players, or by subsets of players, or by supersets of
players and things.

Maybe all the proposal needs is to spend a bit more time defining it's
terms?  And to avoid using three layers of indirection - "the element
of the scope of the object" - which is acceptable in a computer
language, but in English is pretty confusing.  At least for me.
