I wonder if it's also possible to use the same approach but for
value modification. In brief evaluation, my guess is no, since the

I don't understand your question. The 'modify' operation applied on
an AT allows you to do whatever you want, assuming you give it the
right operation to apply. 'replace' will discard all the values and
replace them by the new values. Otherwise, 'delete' deletes some
specific values, and 'add' adds the ones you provide.
Isn't it enough ?
Aye, i understand it can be done through delete/add. My wondering was
about the possibility to perform the change using a single operation.
It *is* a single operation. It's the Modify operation, and it's
guaranteed to be executed as an atomic operation. Everything else is
pure semantic.
