+How about using tags/links to associate attributes with requirements?
+This could be as simple as adding a link, fo e.g. :
+
+  * If it is traceable or not
+    + \[[attributes/traceable]]
+    + \[[attributes/untraceable]]
+  * Its criticality level
+    + \[[attributes/level/critical]]
+    + \[[attributes/level/important]]
+    + etc.
+  * Its priority
+    + \[[attributes/priority/low]]
+    + \[[attributes/priority/high]]
+  * If it is functional or not
+    + \[[attributes/functional]]
+    + \[[attributes/non-functional]]
+
+You just have to create pages for each attribute you want and then pagespec could be used to filter requirements by attributes. I think something similar is used to trac bug with ikiwiki (linking to a \[[done]] page, etc.).
