Two ancient and obscure bugs found and fixed by Donovan Preston (these

could be responsible for various unexplained problems with Python/OSA
interaction over the years):
- Enum values were passed as their string counterparts. Most applications
  don't seem to mind this, but some do (InDesign).
- Attributes have never worked (!), as they were incorrectly passed
  as parameters. Apparently nobody uses them much:-)
