There is no concept of a BGP attribute being "restricted" to a safi. If that were the case, then you could use a single attribute code for completely different attributes in different safis. An attribute that is understood in one safi, but nonsense in a second safi will cause a malformed update rather than an unknown attribute when received in the second safi. 

Thanks,
Jakob.
