There's terse documentation on

  http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/dbus/
  http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/ControlGroupInterface/

While this describes the method call parameters roughly it doesn't
describe the precise encoding within the properties array. We should add
that of course. For now: it's mostly identical to how these things are
exposed as bus properties on the objects, however there are
exceptions...

No. This will be available in Rawhide shortly however.
