 The publish metabox provides two hooks to add additional
 information/elements to it.
 {{{
 post_submitbox_misc_actions
 attachment_submitbox_misc_actions
 }}}
 It would be trivial to add a similar hook to the Page Attributes meta box
 - is there any reason why this can't be done?

 Adding page related meta in an entirely new metabox isn't great for UX -
 two places for page attributes is silly.

 There are several solutions touted in the wild ranging from hacking core
 to removing and recreating the metabox manually or inserting the elements
 with javascript - none good solutions.

 The addition of a single hook would allow much better practice to be
 adopted in adding options to this metabox.

 {{{
 do_action( 'page_attributes_misc_actions' );
 }}}
