SSI 80 Data Set List Request to JES2 should return correct attributes even if changed after data set creation

One of our products, Entire System Server, has a component to collect information about jobs and SYSOUT data from JES2 and JES3. When it was written in 2000, it used the SSI 80 request types available back then as well as JES2 and JES3 services e.g. to obtain spool data set information. We have replaced these JES specific services with SSI 80 request types available now, such as STATDLST (Request data set list).
Unfortunately the attributes in the SYSOUT Element Verbose Section(s) returned by STATDLST may reflect attribute changes made after the data set was created. This is documented in the section "Use Information for data set list requests" in chapter 3 of the document "Using the Subsystem Interface". However, our customers need to have the correct attributes also in these cases, and the attributes are available in the corresponding $JOE.
We have resolved this requirement by now by issuing an additional STATOUTT request for the job, and for every spool data set with an output group name we locate the associated SYSOUT terse element returned from the STATOUTT request and get those valid attributes from there. That works ok but is somewhat inefficient, and I think that should better be done in HASCSISC by obtaining the correct attribute data from the associated JOE.
