Arthur,

What you are suggesting will make the defn of operations inconsistent 
with the rest of the component model. Operations are local to an 
interface, therefore we can not apply the same "simplification" to them.

At present, the components are at least utilizing the pair of properties 
and at least they are consistent. Therefore, I don't think this change 
is necessary.
