I was thinking your code didn't get run at block-attach, but later on I
started to think maybe it was :-) Is it? ;-)

Ah, I hadn't thought about xm new. Well, in that case it sounds fairly
reasonable to add to Xend, and your code looked OK to me. Given that, I'd
have no objections to your patch going in. Might save me from PBKAC (Problem
Between Keyboard And Chair) one day :-)
