           Summary: Harmonize 'absent' and 'undefined'; declare which
                    properties can be absent

In resolving the question of terminology around namespaces, we decided to
define a new term 'absent'. The definition of that term is perilously close to
the definition of 'undefined', surely they could be harmonized somehow? If not,
the spec should articulate the distinction more clearly.

On the subject of absent properties, we should also define which properties can
be absent.
