What do you mean by "proper properties"? Besides, I was trying to make 
the point that it should work consistently across all types of 
properties. End users are not aware of the subtle differences in 
property implementations.

Once you have defined a parameter with, say,
   (make-parameter 'foo)
there is no way to change the default value (e.g. from 'foo to 'bar). 
The best you can do is change the value in your current thread and pray 
that all threads in your system will properly "inherit" from it.
