George, I was going to disagree with Paul but, having looked back more carefully at what distinction the bold is intended to indicate, I would come down tentatively on the side of bolding the values. As I understand your question, the distinction you're drawing with regard to attributes is not intrinsic to those attributes, but is totally dependent on whether the user has entered a value in that instance. Am I right? In that case I think the distinction is a distinction of value, not of the attributes themselves, so it would make more sense to bold the value. (Or both.) My 2 cents... Thanks for asking.
