 As noted in the #21390 parent ticket, the media.php attachment editing
 layout, which is essentially the contents of the Thickbox dialog, could
 use a lot of work.

 We can get a lot of things "for free" if we move it to be a proper post
 type UI, including:
  * Taxonomy UIs
  * Slug editing
  * Re-parenting (even if only exposed by a plugin)
  * Proper editor for attachment page descriptions
  * Proper field (the excerpt field) for a caption
  * Additional fields (as determined by existing filters) can go in a meta
 box

 Image editing (cropping, thumbnails, etc.) can be shown in a dialog that
 will come out of the media work (see parent ticket).
