There is no standard. I often have a spec= attribute in my flows, and I can put
DNP there, and remove parts tagged with it from the BOM with a tiny script,
e.g. '$4!="DNP"{print}' in AWK.
It wouldn't be crazy to define a standard attribute for this purpose. It would
require easy changes to the BOM and partslist back ends. How would you like it
to work?
