two-tiered: I meant one set of normally declared properties, the other set of 
properties that have a meaning only in the context of some layout container 
(and they must be cleared when the node is moved to another container).

What do you think of

Set<AttachedProperty> props = AttachedProperty.from(node);

without the Node having to implement `HasAttachedProperties` interface?
