Does it really need to be in Feature? We too use an administrative attribute in our MSIs; but we just define a property, which proved to be useful.

Hello,

I would like to be able to define/use a custom attribute of the Feature element; e.g.

<Feature
    atr1="Some data"
...

As far as I could figure out, you need to create an extension to enable this.
I have seen/studied guides/tutorials on the net, but those talk about adding custom elements, not extending predefined ones.
I don't need this attribute to influence the resulting MSI in any way, its purpose wold be purely administrative.
Is this possible?
Any pointers as to how to achieve it?

Regards,
János
