                  ^________^___ These relate to more than just Pb
                                Additionally, some items are exempt, 
                                (IIRC), and are allowed to contain Pb,
                                but still meet the spec.

ESD sensitivity? (Yes / No, or some scale of handling susceptibility?)

Light sensitivity (I can imagine some parts degrading under lighting -
e.g. UV erasable EPROMS, ....)


I think it is important that any fields which obviously don't apply,
should not be present in the parts database - rather than get filled
with meaningless numbers.

For example - would anyone bother entering the operating temperature
range for a metal connector? (No plastic to melt).
