The flag was added to make my life easier.
The idea is that there are a lot of properties in WebDAV which are live
properties (server enforced), but would be stored in Slide as a normal
property. So the protected flag would be set to indicate to PROPPATCH (or
apps which want to modify the property) that it is a special property
(although modification is still allowed).
I don't know if it's really useful in the real world. I originally put that
in, just in case.
