        Hummm, the reply doesn't make sense to me.  Maybe I still don't
        understand it.

        Without authorization can't I read all property values today,
        including the ones I can't set?  It seems to me that I should
        be able to read all the property values, including the ones I
        can't set that do not have a read_authorization associated with
        them.  I don't see a reason to change this.  If changed, it
        would seem to be an incompatible change.
