How would it be different from what you just proposed?</p>

<p dir="auto">Yeah, I am being lazy. I need to see what is being done with the current <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">properties</code> slot and whether it can be taken over, or if it is doing some weird classic ASDF thing that I need to stay away from.</p>
<p dir="auto">I will post more once I have groveled over the code.</p>
