I think it's just that Emacs is liberal in what it receives, and tries
to muddle through. For instance, the following works fine:
(insert (propertize "hello" 'face (list (list (list :height 10.0)))))
But this isn't something we'd want to document -- we document the
recommended forms to use, even if Emacs is more liberal in what it
accepts, sometimes.
Anybody else got an opinion here?
