IMHO the ulink url attribute is editable, so I think the list title
attribute can be made editable as well.
Would this be a doable solution? Or do you want to have the title attribute
really displayed as an element, i mean always viewable.

If you would leave the attribute to be editable but displayed in the same
way as the ulink url attribute, you wouldn't need the backtransforming. But
as I guess you definitely want the attribute being displayed (as it will be
on the output?).

Hm, I don't know - Christian could tell us this.
It seems you rather can't wait till his back, right.
So I'll send him a SMS message about it. I hope it gets through.
