 21  
  * if it used as part of a range-based lookup.
 22  
  *
 23  
  * <p>The range bounds allows the party executing the lookup against this attribute to enter a value for both ends
 24  
  * (lower and upper bounds) in order to determine if the attribute is "between" those two values.</p>
 25

 26

 27  
  * a date or numerical data type.  The consumer of these settings is free to ignore the given
 28  
  * attribute range information if it does not believe it is possible to successfully present a range-based
 29  
  * lookup option based on the data type (or other settings) of the {@code AttributeField}.</p>
