No, I think you're right that it can't be done in the ConfiguRation
class right now.  It seems the only way to override block attribute
definitions in the code is to add logic where the attribute is used
and ignore the attribute if it's appropriate to do so.

The logic now is that server block definitions override globals, and
URL block definitions override both (for attribute definitions that
can be used in server or URL blocks).  So, there's no way in the code
to globally override a server or URL block definition.
