Maybe the server can request the attributes from the clients when it wants
to save them? That way we minimize the number of times you need to send
them to the server.

I don't know if this is more optimal than Jason's atomic changes idea, but
at least if you want, you can dramatically reduce the network traffic due
to attributes by reducing the saving frequency.
