First of all: Lazarus is beta and we want to achieve 1.0. Every published
property should work or at least be documented why it can't be implemented
easily.
Second: If we add an unimplemented publish property then we can go directly
to the bugtracker and add it as bug. Otherwise people will do it. They
always did that.
Third: We will not add all Delphi 2005 properties, just because we will
likely implement them in a few years anyway. We add them, when we implement
them. At least partly.

Add them public and publish them when they work on almost all platforms.

Published means they are visible in the object inspector and are used by
newbies.
We can add the property as public if you promise to implement it next week
for at least one widgetset.
