which attribute does dovecat request ? if it requests userQuota you
would have to return all values, and if you strip the qualifier and only
return (500,20,30,35) how would the app know what is what ?
and if you write a plugin to return a single value, how would it know to
return the number for mail and not ftp ?

I think the closet you could get is using tags:
userQuota;mail: 500
userQuota; ftp: 20
userQuota;webapp1: 30
userQuota;webapp2: 35
