Hi Pablo,

Oh you mean the references!
So semantically the 'use' attribute is not really proper (could it be
changed? we need to update the documentation of the netlink API anyway:
many attributes are not described),
moreover if you want to add the same attribute name in table which would
have a different sense.
So on chain I see the point. Not on table though :)
(or a simpler one, knowing that "there are chains in it" instead of a
counter)
