Still haven't received much on this. Guess no one is interested. Some additional comments on this to attempt to get someone to bite, then I will take this to a different, probably more appropriate forum.
It seems that given a getter/setter method you can determine a property name, but not visa versa. Seems backwards. In other words the domain of property names does not have a one to one mapping to the domain of getter/setter names. Concretely, if you had a property of "xOffset" there is no getter / setter name that corresponds to it(?). Kinda limited. I guess this would qualify as a design flaw?
