Aside from a new round of minor doc nits, I think this is looking good.

One remaining question I have is whether the attribute should diagnose an argument for a width that's not supported by the target and drop the attribute explicitly. e.g., if a user picks a min width that's 10240000 and the target cannot handle it, I think it's better to diagnose than to silently truncate to a value the user wasn't expecting. However, this can be handled in a follow-up patch if you want to land this and not have to deal with constant rebasing headaches.

Backticks around the command line option; same below (and for the attribute name as well). Basically, put the code things into the code font.
