Another cardinality to think about handling would be 'set'.

Today's lesson on Theory vs Practice:
Theory: The normal picking process ought to do the right thing: if the
attribute is of type String with cardinality 'list', you ought to get the
regular StringAttributeEditor, which is supposed to format and parse with ','
as the separator.
Practice: Having typed that, I went to look at the source code - it looks
like StringAttributeEditor.GetAttributeValue will do the right thing with
'list' cardinality, but StringAttributeEditor.SetAttributeValue only handles
'single'. (The one case where we currently use something like this is the
email 'toAddress' attribute, where EmailAddressAttributeEditor gets used -
it's a subclass of StringAttributeEditor that implements its own
SetAttributeValue.
I'll make StringAttributeEditor.SetAttributeValue handle the 'list' case
shortly. (Note, though, that our general strategy for dealing with 'list'
things in textctrls assumes that the strings being edited will never contain
',' - I think this is a bad assumption, but I don't have a fix for it.)

I've been updating the del.icio.us parcel to work under 0.6 and I've run
into a small problem in the detail view. The parcel wants to display a
list of tags (strings) in a single text field. What attribute editor
should I be using to do this? Here's a pointer to the code for the
parcel, which lives in my sandbox: <http://
