No, the point is that in JSR-170 it is possible that for a given node type N, the NodeType interface will only return residual property definitions (because the set of property definitions on this node type may be very large), while Property.getPropertyDefinition() will return a non-residual definition (because in this case, the property name is known in advance, so the size problem above doesn't matter).
not quite. the set of property definitions of a nodetype is always a static set and does not vary on the set of all possible properties that can be added. i.e. it does not depend on the actual contents of a node. of course they might be dynamically generated by the repository implementation and this set could be large. but afair, jsr170 does not mention that this set can be incomplete.
