Which part of attachments (file uploads)--uploading or downloading?  
Uploading an attachment will continue to be controlled by the "upload"
password, which can contain author:xxx specifiers.

I'm inclined to agree with Fabio Cecin that if a page is read-protected,
its attachments should be read-protected as well (by the same password).

It's not like someone can't just create a symbolic link to make the
uploads directory web browseable (e.g., "ln -s $PWD/uploads pub/uploads").
