[uf-new] Issue HP7 - Abundance of vocabulary terms in hProduct

[Paul Lee (이기수)]

The examples aren't necessarily an accurate reflection of how
frequently attributes/data is used by retailers.  In practice,
model/mpn is used much more frequently than dimensions, both for
retailer websites as well as retailer submissions to search and
shopping engines.

Defer to those with more experience/other data on version.
