Morning! (Well, tis for me),

Id like to put forward the idea of a extra world attribute, a datastring. A
string variable with a minimum of AW_MAX_ATTRIBUTE_LENGTH characters that
the world owner could use to add extra information for external apps such as
bots to read and monitor tags such as:

noseeker, gzlimit 400, botannounce e, mchat 4, meject 60

which for example 'nice' public bots could recognise as not meant to use
seekerbot functions, not to go within 400 meters of gz, to announce its
arrival to all eject users, and to only chat at 4 lines a second, and that
users should only eject for a maximum of 60 minutes.

Its just something were lacking, an ability for the actual world owners to
go beyond the box of the info they give; without having to have a user query
an area, such as GZ for special tags on objects. Would be a very quick, very
effective method of solving quite a few problems.
