Limiting to powers of two because it can/will be “simpler” in this case
not only makes the attribute harder to read – it also locks vendors in.
Apart from it possibly being a self-fulfilling prophecy – isn't this
too much premature “optimization” ?

Btw, I am not aware of any other attribute that has a logarithmic scale
baked in – are you?
