Okay.

I think the message is just fine. I wonder if we should also
disallow creating attributes with no value either.

The old dialog box drove me nuts when adding attributes.
Yeah, I was playing with editing attributes (via the top list)
and when you press enter, a multi-line attribute is created. The first
time you do this accidentally (press enter up there), you will realize
what is happening after you move the mouse away. I think this is okay,
but it might confuse the users at first. As silly as this sounds, maybe
we need a check box that says "Allow/Disallow multi-line attributes".
But I'm 100% okay with the way things are for the upcoming release. :)
If anybody has an opinion, by all means, voice it.
