UI problem with Attributes window

I just noticed what looks like a potentially serious problem with the
Attributes window when more than one Tinderbox document is open. It's
a floating window that allows you to edit the values of attributes
such as the definitions of color names, and to create new ones. But
the window doesn't indicate which document it goes with, and you
can shuffle the normal document windows underneath the Attributes
window. So it's easy for a user to think he's editing an attribute
for document A when he's actually editing document B's attribute.

You can open Attributes windows for each document, and they all look
the same. And although you can now (this is for v. 2.5.) drag
attributes from the floating window to a note window, you can't
drag them from one Attributes window to another, which would be
convenient when creating a new document that is to have a bunch
of user attributes that you've already defined for an existing
document. This is something that I'm sure needs to be done all
the time.

It's possible that I'm just missing something, or that some of this
is fixed in later versions, so someone please set me straight if
necessary.
