Yep.  A better approach may be modeling a set of properties.  So a plate with

Yeah, I agree. One of the other threads had come to the same conclusion and
are curently trying to decide exactly which properties would be necessary.

Having a good list of properties at the start is a good idea, but don't
hard-code specific properties into the schema.  It's just a many-to-many
relation between parts and properties.  Assuming a relational approach.
