The <properties> element gives
a list of properties for the subject of the current topic, for example
whether a class is public or protected. Each property can include
the type, value, and a description. The typical rendering is usually
in a table-like format. To represent multiple values for a single
type, create additional property elements and use only
the <propvalue> element (and <propdesc>
when needed) for each successive value.
