(not related to this series) I've thought that there still were no consensus on x-foo prefix, not to mention that x- might be legitimate prefix for some properties. Maybe we should add a flag to property like INTERNAL_PROPERTY and then set it explicitly on for internal stuff. That way we could cleanly exclude internal properties from -device foo,help and make sure that user won't set them from CLI. I'd even volunteer to add this API to Object
