Hello Scott, Peter,

Thank you very much for the answers. Yeah, I was the one that actually
asked for something like that some years ago. Strange that nobody else has
asked about it so far. I completely understand this cannot be of priority,
at least not at this point.

Anyway, multivalued attributes are a pain regardless of the specific
language issue. I would be very happy even if there was a totally naive way
to assign the different values of an attribute to different variable names
manually in the SP configuration.

Athanasios
