All attributes in XML are strings; that's just a fact of life. When
the design is created from the XML, the values are passed in the
'attProperties' parameter, which differs from the regular 'properties'
parameter in that its values are interpreted as the underlying
property's type. In the case of Order, it should be eval'd to an int
before it is assigned to the column's Order prop.
