Yes, but not flexibly enough (eg. the attributes don't appear on the
search results page).  Also, attributes are for flow specific purposes
such as an asset tracking id - a ticket due date is pretty much a 
prerequisite for workflow.

Yes.  State transitions will be able to have conditions on them to enforce
specific business rules.  A simple example is for a return to manufaturer
flow.  The ticket can't progress from the 'Awaiting Return' state to the
'Awaiting Replacement' state until the assignee has filled in the
'RMA Number' attribute.
