I find it rather confusing to "see" such bindings that are not supported. One 
could expect something to happen/change after defining this property. So in 
general I think adding unsupported properties to the Documentation is a bad 
idea. But that's just my 2 cents. If the general opinion is to keep this 
property, I'll keep it in of course.

Best regards,
