Adding a method is usually as robust as subclassing but, as I mentioned,
if you don't like it you can always get around it by not using the
visitor pattern.  Just write your own editor method inside your
attribute class.

Agreed if you figure it out.  It isn't clear to me that the
configuration framework supports changing the attribute list although I
don't see directly why you couldn't.  I just didn't think about that
possibility so certainly that seems like a reasonable thing to try.
