The "description" attribute is a bit unusual. It is actually a multi-valued
string attribute, even though there is never more than one value. Depending
on how you are retrieving the value this can make a difference. You probably
need to treat the value retrieved as an array. In VBScript you can use the
TypeName function to verify this. Of course, nothing is returned if there is
no value assigned.
