What would happen with <embed script-private="something">? Would the
data be passed to the plug-in as a script-private param or would
script-private be reserved; causing any plug-in using script-param not
to get the data? (A prefix could possible avoid this.)

Or, would the attribute be global, but with exceptions?

If a global attribute is added, the name should be chosen carefully.
