That is how the module works for multi-valued attributes:  $ 
{RAD_REQUEST}{'attribute'} is a ref to an array.

For single-valued attributes, it's just the attribute value.  So  
you'd have to be careful if you're adding values to an attribute that  
starts out with a single value, but it sounds like it should work.
