t might be useful to think of "intrinsic" vs. "extrinsic" attributes.

​An interesting distinction.  Apparently, it's pretty important in

An attribute that is intrinsic to an item (e.g., a person's birthdate)
might be best represented directly as an attribute of the person (unless a
date is treated as an item in its own right).

​This is going to take us into database theory.  That's fine with me. The
immediate question is whether there are *any* intrinsic attributes,
especially when versioning of various flavors is thrown in.
