This feature seems VERY cool and a great step forward for Snort! I browsed 
through the manual for 2.8.1rc and found some information on how the file 
containing the attribute tables should be formatted - however I found no 
further information on how to actually use this new functionality when 
writing rules. I guess this will be added in the documentation before the 
final 2.8 comes out, but could someone in the know shed some light on this 
until then? Also, I'm curious as to whether this means all current rules will 
soon be rewritten to use these attributes primarily.

Cheers,
Patrik
