There are specific non-currency and non-quantity user representations that exist
on a lot.

MY_WEIGHT is supported by both the XML upload/download files, and by the API
User Inventory / Resource Representation.

Unfortunately, PACKAGING_TYPE (Weight bound, Volume bound, Manual or null), DIM_X,
DIM_Y and DIM_Z are not currently supported in either the XML or API mechanisms.

You can only enter them via the web screen, and there is no way to back them
up.

Please support these fields, on both XML (which I need) and API (which others
may need).

I'm putting this under suggestions, but it comes close to being a Technical
Issue. Admins feel free to move this to T/I if you feel like it is one.

thanks, Nita Rae

Yep, good ideas just keep going around and around.
