Is that really what the AX spec describes? That was not my 
interpretation when I read it, but then I may have been reading it with 
SREG-tinted glasses.

If the AX spec really is suggesting that the attributes be exchanged in 
a separate transaction, then we should totally fix that. AX is supposed 
to be a superset of the functionality of SREG.
