Are any of those property names in use in any
of our DTS files or b-w-o.txt? Not really, no.
In fact, with this lexical change, all of our
DTS files still produce byte-identical results.
I really think this is one of those areas where
we may need to stray from the other guideline.
Is there a compelling reason somewhere? Really?
