I wrote this:

   But one might well also ask, if there are useless properties with no

   the fact that such properties exist a much bigger problem than whether
   they should be listed in the document?

You quoted and responded to just half of that, cutting the quote off in
the middle of the sentence, and then YOU proceeded to accuse ME of
"Creative quoting games."

That's not a good look.

But if anyone else is still interested in the original question about
documentation, it seems quite reasonable to me that grob documentation
could list all the properties that have an effect on each grob, including
inherited properties, and not list (or not list in the same place) any
inherited properties that don't have an effect.  I'm not so interested in
how many, if any, properties with no effect there might be.  Requiring
readers to trace back through the hierarchy to look at all interfaces
supported by a grob in order to see which properties can be used, does
seem like it makes the documentation harder to use.
