And this is where the challenge lies!  The whole point of special blocks is 
that org knows nothing of their semantics.  They are a "black box" and it would 
be difficult to identify export specific elements and general elements on this 
basis.

Many but not all.  And hence the difficulty.

Sorry for being negative.  I sympathize fully with your aims as I use special 
blocks all the time and don't particularly like the attr lines either.  But I 
see no general solution to this.
