Any thoughts about "Block Class" => "Block Attributes" similar to "Menu Attributes"?

Or even having a common base Attributes module that is a dependency for a collection of sub-modules - Menu attributes / Block attributes / Region attributes / Node attributes, et al? :)

Hi Alan D.,

Thanks a lot for posting this issue and raising this very interesting idea.

I spent some time thinking about the idea of working with a Block Attributes module and it appeared there wasn't any existing module that would allow users to modify block attributes through the back-end, other than block classes.
So I went ahead and contributed the Block Attributes module, based on the Block Class and Menu Attributes modules.

The Block Attributes module allows users to specify additional HTML attributes for blocks, through the block's configuration interface, such as class, id, style, title and more.

I would greatly appreciate to have your comments, feedback, questions, issues, objections, reviews, suggestions or concerns on this new module.

Feel free to take a closer look at the Block Attributes module and follow up in its issue tracker if you have any questions, comments, ideas or encounter any problems while testing, your feedback and comments would be greatly appreciated.

Since the module now exists, I assume we could perhaps consider moving this issue forward towards closure.
I have modified Block Class' project page to let users know of the Block Attributes module, which is a bit similar (see the section called "Similar modules").

Therefore, I allowed myself to mark it as fixed for now, but feel free to re-open it, or post a new ticket, at any time if you have any further objections with this ticket or the related Block Attributes module (we would surely be happy to hear your feedback).

I hope this new module could help more site builders, themers and developers fulfill their projects' requirements related with blocks.
Thanks in advance to everyone for your testing, reviews, feedback and comments on this issue.
Cheers!
