Discrete Attributes are a type of text Attribute that takes one (or more) of a set of
discrete text values.
For example, a Transparency Attribute may have the possible values Opaque,
Translucent, Transparent, or Optical Quality.
Some Discrete Attributes may take more than one value. For example, in a polymer
datasheet, the Additive Attribute may have one or more of these values: Flame
retardant, Impact modifier, Plasticizer/oil.
