 One benefit will be that it won't involve changing the output of the morphological analyser, which could make transfer rules or the bilingual dictionary break.

 This information is pretty lexicalised, and we might want it for a good number of words, so many in fact that having lists would be impractical.
-So the idea is that we have a separate file<ref>Or it can go in the transfer file</ref>, which allows us to define arbitrary attributes and have them filled according to lexicalised patterns. There will be no magic. It'll just be patterns and attributes.

 A drawback will be that it is an extra file (or not), and it could easily get unmanageable.
