mmm, okay then...

A grep for that semi-standard properties names in Documentation/
returns only usage examples and no actual definitions, so I assume this
is why they are semi-standard. Seems like there is some tribal knowledge
involved in defining what is semi-standard and what's not, or are those
properties documented somewhere?
