This is a subtype of the UInt32 DataType with the OptionSetValues Property defined. It is used to define the Attribute access restrictions of a Node. The AttributeWriteMask is formally defined in Table 43.

If a bit is set to 0, it means the Attribute is not writable. If a bit is set to 1, it means it is writable. If a Node does not support a specific Attribute, the corresponding bit has to be set to 0.
