I would have to say... CAD standards, and intellegent users. :)
I just did some upgrade training and noticed in 2007 that when a block is created you can uncheck a box and the block will be be explodable! Mabey upgarding will do the trick?

RE: Locking a Block?
-Why is it you can't export attributes you've made invisible - AutoCAD doesn't recognize them?
-Why not just use the default attribute invisibility method, worried someone will find it, edit it and harm your data?
-Have you considered using Extended Entity data (xdata) to store your information?
-Have you considered using punctuation? If you're really looking for assistance it would help many people follow what you're trying to say.
