No! Well, not as the default. Otherwise, the consumer has to go back
and check what happened even on success, which is a royal pain and
highly inefficient.

Maybe we should pass in an optional attribute structure, that is returned
with the granted attributes on success, or the would-have-been attributes
on failure?
