8          A dictionary of manufacturer-specific extended data fields, which may
9          contain fields such as manufacturing plant, lot number, etc.

11          These fields must not be used for programmatic interrogation of an
12          inventory object but may be useful for various human-oriented tasks,
13          such as part failure analysis.  Any field needed for programmatic
14          interrogation should be promoted to a first-class property in another
15          Item or Decorator interface.
