Use of AdministrableProductProperty text and quantity

[ASL-rmarshall]

In AdministrableProductProperty, the text attribute is required and the quantity attribute is optional. This means that you always have to provide a text value, even if the property value is a quantity. Should text be made optional with a rule indicating that a value is expected for either text or quantity?

This question was raised in this comment (3rd to last bullet), but was not addressed.

Currently, the only defined terminology for AdministrableProductProperty.type is "pH". As it's a number, I assume the value for the "pH" property would be represented as in quantity.value without a unit. However, for the instance to be valid, the number would also have to be represented in text.

Low Priority - probably not used this much at the point in USDM adoption - IDMP related - maybe USDM v5 or v6 once there is more experience from using this - maybe more input from users by then
