This assumes that the range of DCB attributes will never overlap with
the range of IEEE attributes. Wasn't the original reason for introducing
the DCB nest to not have to make this assumption?

I.e. now that we split DCB and IEEE attributes in the APP_TABLE
attribute, shouldn't it be done here as well?
