Item5698: EditRowPlugin's save function borks ActionTrackerPlugin's non-standard attributes.

Today, one of my coworkers noticed that the non-standard attributes we use for the ActionTrackerPlugin were disappearing. At first I thought that maybe the WYSIWYG was messing with things, but I wasn't able to reproduce the problem. It turns out that the action in question was in a topic that also used an EditRowPlugin-enabled table (different part o the topic: not in the action or vice-versa). Everytime you edit a row in the table and click the save icon, the attributes were stripped from the action. This was annoying my co-worker, as his team was using the table to track progress on the task, and it kept getting clobbered.

I'm not really sure why this would happen - my first guess would be that the REST handler employed is not respecting ActionTrackerPlugin's territory, or something similar. I also know very little about how the plugin architecture works, so I doubt my guesses are worth much

Plugins we're using: SpreadSheetPlugin, ActionTrackerPlugin, CommentPlugin, EditRowPlugin, EditTablePlugin, ForEachPlugin, GluePlugin, InterwikiPlugin, LdapNgPlugin, NewUserPlugin, PollPlugin, PreferencesPlugin, SablotronPlugin, SlideShowPlugin, SmiliesPlugin, TablePlugin, TagMePlugin, TinyMCEPlugin, TwistyPlugin, VotePlugin, WorkflowPlugin, WysiwygPlugin

I suspect some other plugin interaction. I don't have any problem with action tracker attributes in table-edited topics. 'm not going to do anything about this unless it is reported again, with a specific example.
