 > I haven't tested the proposed patch yet, but here's a thought: Say there
 was a popular plugin that uses an address shortcode and drops in a Google
 Map.  Another plugin could be made that uses that same shortcode to drop
 in the proper micro-formatting for an address.

 Yea, the proposed patch is accidentally broken-ish atm. A syntax error at
 a comment, misimplemented shortcode_atts, and an incorrect parse tree.

 > It really will only help if plugin developers attempt to standardize
 certain shortcodes.  However, all the cases I can think of could also be
 managed pretty easily of the original plugin author added the necessary
 hooks to their plugin...but we all know that doesn't happen.

 I had started to work on some compat expressions that could be parsed and
 then throw a deprecation warning when evaluated. I don't know if the same
 would be possible for accessing positional attributes.
