NVDAObjects currently have a 'value' property, which usually is used to communicate the value of a slider or progress bar, or perhaps a text field with no caret etc. However accessibility APIs such as Java Access Bridge, IAccessible2 and UI Automation can provide more info for the value, such as its minimum and maximum values (if its numeric).
Instead, NVDAObjects should have a valueInfo property, which is a dictionary containing values of:
current, min, max.
If min and max are provided, then current, min and max all need to be numeric. However if current exists by itself, then it can be an arbitrary string.
If an API supports both string values and numeric values, the string value should probably be used in preference.
