I've been wondering about the same. Whoever wrote the code probably
assumed that a long would always be 32bit... 64bit for attributes is
definitely a waste since the upper 32bit will always be unused for
portability's sake. It should at least be a type that's the same size on
all architectures.

And wouldn't uint16_t ( or probably wchar_t ) be enough for characters?
So far we don't use more than 8bit anyway.

have fun
Michael
