//! \brief Message attribute function set. 
/*!
 Function set for message attributes.  A message attribute is a dependency node
 attribute that does not transmit data.  Message attributes only exist to
 formally declare relationships between nodes.  By connecting two nodes
 via message attributes, a relationship between those nodes is expressed.
 Message attribute connections can be traversed in the same manner as
 any other connection in the dependency graph. Message attributes cannot be 
 stored as they do not contain data.
