Hi Matthias: Attribute Description is described as multivalued is MS-ADA1 and as such allows addition of multiple values. There is a constraint on the modify operation as I communicated earlier.
Please let me know if this answers your question. If it does, I'll consider this issue resolved.

But why does the add operation allow it to be set multi-valued? Is there a reason? Or it's just a bug?
