I'm really sorry but we don't see anything wrong about a command-button() which would invoke command putAttribute. Please notice that, to my knowledge, command putAttribute does exactly what you have described: ``pop-up the declared attribute editor if any, the default one otherwise''. Therefore we see your set-attribute-editor-button() simply as a convenience pseudo-function. We do not intend to implement such convenience pseudo-function. Now, concerning value-editor(), you are welcome to report any inconsistency, any annoying behavior or any limitation related to this simple declarative statement. (In fact, I suspect that you have found something wrong about value-editor().)
