[jsr-314-open-mirror] [jsr-314-open] Attribute and State Management in Custom ClientBehaviors

[Martin Marinschek]

Hey guys,

+1 from me - I have long back felt the need for support for this in
converters and validators; so of course, client behaviours should have
it as well.

Catagay, can you check the issues, and if there is none open, open one?

best regards,

Martin
