Is some FO processor supporting these non-qualified attributes for
space-before/after? I don't think so. (Probably with the exception of
xmltex which can map these directly to glues in TeX, but xmltex is not
widely used today.) So I think we can safely remove those and just use
value of .optimum trait as unqalified property.
