My opinion is that the ::markup and ::pattern properties should
be write-only, and the ::attributes and ::label properties should
be read-write. (I haven't looked at the exact names here)

So, setting ::markup should notify ::attributes and ::label,
and setting ::pattern should notify ::attributes.
