My solution would be
	var $attributes = array(
		'accountType' => array(
			'Type' => "Select",
			'AllowableValues' => array("Current","Savings")
		)
	);
with a central attribute definition or alternatively
	var $attributes_accountType = array(
		'Type' => "Select",
		'AllowableValues' => array("Current","Savings")
	);

But then again I think the whole thing is typical OO bloat anyway and 
that's why I don't want to have language features added for it (-:C

Over and out,
