Description
Following a comment on issue #235, it seems as if we should have a section in the docs for each attribute (and possibly other stuff as well) that indicates which framework builds support the particular item. Priority can be given to those that do not exist in our .NET Standard builds, like TimeoutAttribute and PlatformAttribute.
As a possibly broader issue in the framework repo, we may want to consider whether more attributes should be supported in compilation but give a warning when used in the wrong platform. We already support a few parallelization-related attributes for compilation only, but the only warning is (I think) in the docs.

Research direction
Review issue #235 and the existing documentation for TimeoutAttribute and PlatformAttribute, then identify how framework-build support is currently described. Done means the relevant attributes, especially those absent from .NET Standard builds, have clear build-support notes in the docs; the broader compilation-warning question is separate and unresolved.
