They are just arbitrary name/value pairs in XML attribute syntax that can be used by an applications if it has to save additional information to restore a cursor position. One example woule be a name of the view if an application supports multiple views of a document. Another example would be offset required to position the cursor within an attribute value as suggested by Paul. Best regards Michael
