Martin,

I am being picky about terminology use, but for the sole purpose of 
communications clarity. Thus, aren't the following synonyms: Facet, 
Feature, Characteristic, Aspect, Attribute, Quality? If so, the "Facet 
or Type" comment above is a little confusing, hence my question [1][2][3].

Wondering where I am headed with this? Fundamentally, it's all about 
clearly defining faceted browsing [4] which is ultimately impacted by 
Schema.org term usage especially in regards to determining usage and 
actual utility etc..
