The rational is that only properties that are required in order to recreate an object need to be included. Unfortunately that means folks who are just curious about all the properties or who need a complete list for a plugin/application are left high and dry. It would be great if something like "the effective properties" could be implemented, or even a new keyword like "actual". As it is, folks like Richard and myself are forced to maintain their own internal lists of properties for plugins like 4WProps and lcStackbrowser when that list should be maintained by RunRev. The dictionary is also not always a good reference point for a list of properties although it is much better than it used to be. I gave RunRev a stack that checks properties against the dictionary and flags any with missing entries so they can run their own checks as part of their release process.
