--------------------------------
I agree that the Property tag shouldn't print when the "id" attibute is present. It would be uncommon that a person would both want to print the selected value and store it in a page attribute at the same time. Currently to supress the Property tags print functionality while using the "id" attribute you have to both a start and end tag with content between them. This is confusing and non-intuitive.
This will change the behavior of the tag, but I'm guestimating that the number of end users impacted will be low. Again, this is because the function of assigning to a page attribute and printing contents aren't usually combined.
--------------------------------
Is changing this behavior for 1.3 going to cause anyone tons of pain and misery? I know that maillist != userbase but, we need to find out if people are relying heavily on this "feature".

Currently, if a ww:property tag doesn't have a body, it prints the value
of the value attribute, or "." if no value is provided. In the case of
setting a pageContext attribute (a bodyless tag), this isn't what you
want.
