I'm documenting the TV connector props here. Maybe I should move that
to the "standard connector properties"...

Problem is, the margin props were documented in the HDMI connector
props section. If we want to make it applicable to both HDMI and TV
connectors I should move it to the "standard connector properties"
section and mention that these props only apply to HDMI and TV
connectors.
