Date: 2010-01-18 11:40 am (UTC)To me, attribute-noun means more "this noun happens to be attribute" and attribute!noun means "this noun has attribute as an essential part of its being."
On the other hand, that may be a personal reading only, and there may be no need for two meanings, or a better way to divide such meanings.
On the gripping hand, using attribute!noun avoids this hyphen issue.
