The call is not needed most of the time as the dispatcher defines 
__getattr__(). It does however not define __setattr__().

I would still appreciate some comments on what kind of "bad things" can 
happen if the call to Destination() is omitted. Where will the attribute be 
set? Could the name __allow_groups__ be (accidentially) acquired?

Thanks again,
