OTOH The number of
discrete values in the set can easily skew the median.

Yes, and so which one is most appropriate would depend on whether a
=value= is likely to change much, or whether the =number= of values is
the important consideration. In the case of income distribution, the
former is probably more important. In the case of school test grades
from year to year, the latter might have more significance.
