I can't say whether it's the right decision or not, but if you want to
go forward with this, you should maintain the backward compatibility,
so leave the code to deal with this as a fallback solution...

And keep that DT property documented too.

You can express that it's only here for compatibility using the
deprecated keyword though.

It doesn't do anything at the moment, but the next spec of the schema
