I think actually this is not the biggest problem.  child properties are 
dynamic, and it's not a problem IMO if they are created like that.

I don't like that _link_ properties are spread all over the place 
instead of being treated like other properties.  Link properties are 
static, and PROP_PTR properties could often be converted to links.

I'm playing with separating the "legacy" and "static" property concepts 
so that we can head in that direction.  I hope to send out an RFC in an 
hour or so.
