Peter,
In Verilog 2001, one of the 5 local namespaces is for attributes.
See section 3.12 of the LRM. According to this section "Once a
name is defined within one of the five names spaces, it shall not
be defined again in that space (with the same or a different type)."
This contrasts, however, with section 2.8 of the same LRM, which
states that an attribute can be "defined more than once for the
same language element" and "the last attribute value shall be used
and a tool can give a warning that a duplicate attribute specification
has occurred".
