Possible implementation to respond to the request to be able to pass in a set of IP addresses as an attribute.  Thread is here.

possible patch

This could of course be adapted for other address types.

I see no problems at all in this attribute extension, but I have a question.
What about having an Address vector attribute (i.e., the base instance) ?

I haven't checked it, perhaps having just an Address vector will be a nightmare with the checker.

I will look into making this use base class Address; in the meantime, here is the v6-compatible version of the previous patch.
