We have to differentiate two things here:
 - the attributes use to save the parameters as the are set for a
 city. These have to be saved on the server.
 - the presets. The presets should be available in 3 scopes:
   - city wide (including the speacial "last working" preset). Must be
   on the server.
   - nation wide. Lifetime is a game. Available for all cities. Must
   be on the server.
   - global wide. Lives longer than a game. Must be at the client.

This is a state of my mind. As I said I haven't looked at the
patch.
