	hi Jaroslav, you could use the slot description to find the 
slot but that's not the case.  The thing is that you can use slot 0 
reliably there so slot-id would make sense in that context.  We have 
attributes that can be reasonable used only in certain scenarios and 
not others, like "pin-value".  Jan.
