Okay, so not only are the contents of RefProps and RefParams opaque, the 
difference between them is intended to be opaque, too.  Is that correct? 
  If so, then this should be called out explicitly in the spec.

But more importantly, if the only entity that can distinguish between a 
prop and a param is the server, then I don't see why the spec has both 
types.  We should be able to drop one (flip a coin:) without any impact 
on the installed base -- servers already have the requisite internal 
config and magic to distinguish between the two -- and greatly simplify 
things.
