I've mentioned it before and nobody commented on the idea, but I can't
think of a single good reason 'attributes' is executed before
'omit-tag.' Switching them could yeild speed increases in the case
where 'omit-tag' is true and 'attributes' is expensive.  Am I wrong?
Why is this not a good idea?  When is it useful to generate
attributes for a tag and then throw away the work?
