If it works I'm +1 to document it...

also primitive types are supported (with lower-case type information

Is there a reason why this is not documented?
AFAIK the lowercase is also used for the JCR Installer write back,
e.g. in case the metatype defines something like "<AD id="levels"
type="Integer" cardinality="2147483647" name="Absolute Levels"
description="List of absolute parent levels. Example: Absolute parent
level 1 of '/foo/bar/test' is '/foo/bar'."/>"
In case the cardinality is a large positive integer it is always
supposed to be an array of primitives (compare with
https://osgi.org/specification/osgi.cmpn/7.0.0/service.metatype.html#org.osgi.service.metatype.annotations.AttributeType).
Does anything speak against extending that documentation in that
regard?
Thanks,
Konrad
