yes, that's the problem I was referring (isRequired and OR problem). It 
doesn't affect the look and feel of the GUI, but it does affect the 
processing behind the GUI. I think it would be useful to get some 
community reaction to these questions.

There are already examples of people experimenting with GUIs that 
support optional attributes:

but, I'd agree -- there's no real experience yet with GUIs supporting 
this sort of functionality. Once IDP v3 arrives, I wouldn't be surprised 
to see further experimentation.
