i meant in e.g. Content.pm that would call 'get_volume_notes'.
this would call the correct one (if it exists)
and a default which calls 'get_volume_attribute'
would catch all plugins that have no 'get_volume_notes' ?

but i think it could work both ways, though i like your suggested
approach more since we use the new sub everywhere outside the plugins
