Obviously we need to put some design thought into this feature, but I
think that having this apply to *any* unrecognized attribute is probably
a little too strong.

I would suggest that it would make more sense to have a separate
"metadata attributes" declaration attribute. DITA-aware processors would
then use this attribute to determine which attributes are in fact
metadata attributes, e.g.:
