Let me start with a clean slate and summarise the quandry we have.

All previous discussion on this issue is null and void. Let's all open our
eyes and start fresh.


1. No change:
- Currently we have a single <property /> tag that performs 3 uses.
- This is confusing to new users, however documentation will help clear this
up. It will still perform 3 uses.
- The oldest users don't want to change it because they understand how it
works.

2. Change:
- Split the <property /> tag into <focus />, <print /> and <context /> which
each perform one of the uses of <property />
- The existing <property /> tag will be deprecated, but will still work
fine.
- The documentation will be updated to reflect the new tags, not the old.


Does everyone agree this is a pretty fair summation of the arguments?



If so - I think we should make the change. It will take me a little while to
adjust to the new tags, and I probably won't convert my code over instantly
- but my brain does understand them more easily, and I really don't believe
it adds more complexity? If anything it is simpler?

Your thoughts are ALL appreciated - but be nice and constructive.
- If you disagree, say why, give arguments and examples.
- Explain yourself! Perhaps there is something I don't see here?
- If so, add it and tell us what it is.

Cheers,
Mike
