That looks like an error in introductory text describing that proposal (not text that was proposed for addition to the standard itself). I at least mainly concentrate on the proposed changes to the standard text when reviewing the details of C standards proposals; mistakes of detail outside those changes aren't really important. The current working draft is N2596, which has plenty of attributes-related changes that postdate the original proposal for attributes support; you should search for the word "appertain" there and disregard the older proposal.
