Subject: Why doesn't Ada allow user-defined attributes?

While reading up on VHDL I found out about its user-defined attributes and got to wondering why Ada doesn't have them. I can see how restricting them to those defined in the standard can keep the code "clean" and certainly [mostly] uniform... though the allowance of implementation-defined attributes undermines the last portion of that argument. -- Does anyone know?
