It depends. As a special case, the data source can use these three
properties as fallback when nothing is set specifically for the source.

What that means is that "--print-items @foo source" relies on properties
in the source alone (because there is no peer mentioned) but
"--print-items target-config@foo source" allows the source to use these
extra three properties.

I am talking about the behavior as implemented in the WebDAV backend. If
I remember correctly, the ActiveSync backend always expects to be used
together with a peer and does not support "backendUser/Password" at all.
This is only a limitation of the implementation; it would be better if
it worked like the WebDAV backend.
