To some extent I'm a bit troubled by the idea of properties meaning "some
properties", but that's already the case -- "entire contents" is a good
example in this case. (I notice others missing, too: everyones privileges
seems an odd omission.)
Choice (2) is about the worst, IMO -- it's has all the appearance to the
user of an intermittent bug.
