I have an FM+SGML document suite that features an element with both multiple attributes and (optionally) multiple values, from a specific set, per attribute. A bit of prototyping suggests this is a modest nightmare for authors. They have to remember the values, and type them correctly. With single-value attributes from a specific set, authors get a drop-down menu. Would it be possible to constrain multiple attribute value entry through some kind of tick-box interface via work in the FDK, or AppleScript, or something? If it's possible in theory, does it sound like a major piece of work?
