Sorry about this one! I have backported your correction to the 2.6
branch.

There are actually a number of commands where the result depends on
some property value. Why not make a general description on how to
set these properties, which can be refered in the documentation of
all these commands. Now some of these properties are just refered
to as "properties" some as "layout properties". Also, such a description
can explain the (property . value) syntax and relate it to the syntax
of normal overrides.
