I'm breaking some of these topics into their own threads.

>In addition, to resolve problems with multiple values (as simple as complex) of attribute I propose to add some CollectionAttribute to IdAS model. So we will have exactly one value for SimpleAttribute and for ComplexAttribute, and resolve a problem with ComplexAttribute that now unable to have more than one complex value.

 

 

This is the second time I've heard this assertion.  As far as I know, there is nothing that prevents us from having a multi-valued complex attribute. IAttribute extends IProperty which has a getValues() method.  This returns one or more IPropertyValues.  For a complex attribute, each IPropertyValue will be an IComplexValue.  Let me know if there is something wrong with my understanding.
