Good suggestion. For C# dev's, the C# equivalent would be:

[ToolboxBitmap(typeof(Button)), DefaultProperty("Text")]

There are also other things you can set in this attribute (see the .NET help).

The MM.NET classes already include these attributes, so you can just cut-n-paste them into your own subclasses.
