Summary	0002141: Similiar product lists do not work correctly
Description	Similiar product lists are currently rendered by performing a check which attributes are associated with the article. The value of an attribute is not checked in this process, only the association itself. This is a wrong behaviour since i.e. in the context of a list with similiar products, pants with a "material"-attribute filled with the value "jeans" should not be associated with an article having the “material”-attribute and value "cotton". Having a managable percentage of matching attributes does not fit with a pure check of the associations and not their values. If this will be changed, there should be a switch marking if the value should be checked or not for rendering to be safe with the old API. Thanks for your efforts in advance.
