I'm not happy with this text, as it sort-of *encourages* people to
define live properties that way.
So *if* the spec makes a statement about dead properties, but *doesn't*
make statement about live properties, that should be clear enough ("if
the spec author's would have wanted to make a statement about live
properties, they would have done it here").
Having the choice between two text versions that technically say the
same, I'm voting for the shorter and simpler one.
Best regards, Julian
