Except that those would have to be strings for floats or fractions. For 
properties which have little chance of being something common and aren't 
any form of standard unit, I think it is fine to just use the h/w 
specific values. 

The first question to ask whether these parameters are common to 
all/many voice coil motors?

Here, I agree.
