Hm, dunno. Making it possible to label the "+"-Button "add dependency"/"create 
dependency"?

I had thought about designing the optionset the other way around, too, i.e. 
you'd first write the text, then add it. However, for elements like radio 
buttons, checkboxes, etc. it would be rather non-obvious, whether the current 
settings are already "committed". Thus the policy: If it's enabled, it is 
active. (Also when going back and changing settings in an existing row of the 
set: you don't have to "commit" these).

Now, <optionset>s with a _minimum_ requirement of one row already start out 
with one row. But for sets that can be empty, we're hitting the same problems, 
again.

Further ideas?

Just for completeness: Yet another option in this particular use-case would be 
combining a text <input> with the new <valueslot multi="true" 
source_property="input_id.text">.
