     Jeez, the marker arch was the wrong arch to pick as an example wasn't it?
Ok, how hard would it be to make a attribute page for an invisible arch 
with a name field, and a lore tab for the java editor (yes I forgot 
you'd still have to add the lore field to most of the attribute forms in 
the java editor Andreas, hopefully that is pretty simple - same as mesg 
field right?).
I think this will work pretty good, it's still easier than any other way 
I can think of since all the mechanisms are there to make it work 
already (except for a pretty attribute page to fill in the lore in the 
java editor, but you can still enter it ).
I'll even include a screen shot.
Every thing else can be managed inside the lore field anyway.
