raphael 23:23, 24 August 2009 (UTC) : This attribute is defined for use with the suggested change to Talk:WKDYWK and new attribute DYOFWK. It is intended for coding ranges of weekdays in a compact format and staying within the letter and the spirit of S-100 concerning list values and complex variables. While the current version of S-100 (Version 0.0.3) does not make an explicit statement saying so, implicit suggestions in it and reports of past discussions in TSMAD suggest that encoding of list values (e.g., "1,2,3,4") will no longer be allowed (instead, repeated instances of the attribute are supposed to be used), that is, (roughly speaking) instead of

attributeA="1,2,3,4"

it would be necessary to code

attributeA=1
attributeA=2
attributeA=3
attributeA=4

The situation may change, so it will be worth reviewing this after any relevant updates to the S-100 draft.
