Hehe, you never know what people will do... ;-)

Yeah, you're right, that's the class we're using.
I might have been using SyncReplConfiguration at first and figured out the 
setAttributes() method cumulative behavior because of it, I guess.
It's not used anymore in the editor now.

Yeah, that might be safer, especially after we have a graphical editor where 
people can do lots of nasty stuff.
It '+' is mandatory for the replication logic on the server-side, I think too 
the server should add it.
Otherwise, the replication can't work properly.

One last thing.
In the current implementation we test the presence of the lower-cased attr in 
the list but we're storing the attribute as-is.
So I guess, it might be possible to add the same attribute multiple times 
('ObjectClass', 'objectClass', 'objectclass' for example).
