It seems to me that there are many ways to classify attributes, but  
that there is no need for a different mechanism for different kinds.  
All that is needed is unique names. So, why not put an invisible  
gschem-session-zoom= attribute in the schematic? The usual rules of  
attributes (any tool interested can use them, others ignore them) are  
right for these kinds of attributes too.
