Looks good.

That's a bit stricter than what I was looking for. If I want to delete a
prop in-server, I'd like be able to avoid asking handlers (as I was
before). Otherwise, I'm still forced to implement a delete handler for
the sole purpose of giving up the veto at some time. Essentially I need
a parallel channel to delete my own props. Boils down to dumping

that part. And maybe rename fromClient to checkHandlers or deletable to
clientDeletable, whatever. IOW: If deletable is FALSE and fromClient is
TRUE, handlers have to agree.
Admittedly weaker, but maybe the more practical semantics.
Cheers,
