Re: read-face-name doc string incorrect

    It does return nil e.g with customize-face when the user hits RET.  It
    wouldn't make sense to say "if the user just hits RET" for read-face-name
    because it's not an interactive function.

It is a function that explicitly reads input from the user, so
it does make sense to say "if the user just hits RET".

    The phrase "If it has a `read-face-name' property," appears as a link to
    the function read-face-name so perhaps it could be rewritten as:

    If it has the property `read-face-name',...

    and help-xref-symbol-regexp modified by replacing 
"\\(symbol\\|program\\)\\|"
    with "\\(symbol\\|program\\|property\\)\\|".

Could you implement the improvement in help-xref-symbol-regexp?
It might need changes in the functions that use that regexp.
