Just adding vendor usable attributes doesn't really address the problem of discoverability. With the SM class it is at least imaginable there is some kind of out of band discovery before the attributes are used, can't see that for PM. Plus, there is no defined SMP vendor specific MAD, only GMP, so it makes a little more sense..
