+Two years ago the [Request for Comments (RFC) #311](https://emberjs.github.io/rfcs/0311-angle-bracket-invocation.html#html-attributes) made quite a splash: Besides an entirely new invocation syntax for Ember components, it suggested a novel feature that allowed Ember users to pass **HTML attributes**, such as _class_, _width_ or _tabindex_, from the invocation site of a component down to its content. There they can finally be accessed using the so-called **splatattributes** syntax.
+
+Here's a quick reminder of how that looks like - imagine the following markup:
+
+```handlebars
+<!-- app/templates/application.hbs -->
+<!-- invoking a component with several attributes.... -->
+<MyImageComponent width="320" height="64" alt="My favorite snacc" />
+```
+
+```handlebars
+<!-- app/components/my-image-component.hbs -->
+<!-- ...allows access to the attributes in the component's template -->
+<img ...attributes />
+```
+
+Which will render the component in your app as follows:
+
+```html
+<img width="320" height="64" alt="My favorite snacc" />
+```
+
+The efforts to allow Ember devs to write less verbose component templates and to manage deeply nested component invocations successfully continue. This week Ember developer, contributor and Ember Times editor [Alon Bukai (@Alonski)](https://github.com/Alonski) wrote down an RFC to promote the [idea of **spreadable arguments**](https://github.com/emberjs/rfcs/blob/1c90e48eeec9a990627a6ce1e9f70391ba95bbb7/text/0000-spreadable-arguments.md).
+
+Similar to splattatributes, these would allow the forwarding of component configuration with less verbosity, but in this instance via **arguments** rather than attributes. You can learn more about the motivation of this feature and how it is used, in the [RFC itself](https://github.com/emberjs/rfcs/pull/593). And as always: feel encouraged to leave your thoughts, questions and suggestions in the comments below!
