Agreed.

Can we use the same noun/adjective for our names?

Is there any reason to use property over attribute?

As a Friday bikeshed I suggest:

.note.gnu.attributes - GNU Attributes optimized for the dynamic loader.
-- New. Follows H.J's proposal. Bit-level, packed, and optimized for the
   dynamic loader processing.

.gnu.attributes - GNU Attributes optimized for offline and static linker
		  processing.
-- Existing section. Discussions with Nick ongoing if we can continue
   to use existing infrastructure e.g. Tag_Range to extend this data.
