Generic Vertex Attributes and Conventional vertex attributes

OpenGL
1

I’m trying to write a very general model class that may store different attributes for verteces. So I want to know how well can generic attributes be interchanged with convensional attributes so is

  glNormal3f(...);

going to have the same affect on both the FFP and shaders as:

  glVertexAttrib3f(2, ...);
2

AFAIK you may run into problems using glVertexAttrib3f(2, …) instead of glNormal3f(…) because there are no attribute indices defined for conventional attributes like Normal or Color, …
But I don’t exactly know…
