Hrm. I think that's one Dave didn't want to restrict so that
applications don't see resources disappear and get confused. But,
perhaps a simple variant of those instead of a completely different API.

That's what is already in place -- property setting is always relative
to the containing resource, so we don't need any specific controls on
the properties themselves unless we wanted to restrict queries, which
doesn't seem necessary.
