So, which is it? Ignored or > not? Or is some aspect of them ignored and some aspect not? The RFC was discussed on this list, and the RFC should explain what the current state of the implementation is. So, the RFC and the implementation are the specifications. In case they differ it has to be fixed. With regard to state, from my academic point of view, it is not handled, however, the language should be now in a shape which provides my interpretation of 'expected behavior' with regard to property definitions. When they collide, you get a notice, but the language does not help you in solving the problem.
