Do you need it to come up with a list of all allowed attributes 
(probably not a good idea
for implementation and performance reasons), or do you want to supply 
the list (better,
but not the way the GER control works) ? I suppose you could supply an 
attribute list for
the search and GER could use that. That'd be reasonably efficient and 
easy to implement,
I think.
