No, I simply had client developers ask why the property is not set in 
RASDs.  Understandably, they want to use it instead of invoking more CIM 
operations.

IIRC this property was introduced for the "create" use cases, e.g. 
AddResourceSettings, where there is no way to describe the relationship 
via associations.  However, once the object exists its relationship to 
other CIM objects is determined via associations.  I don't think RAP is 
very clear in this regard, hence the questions/confusion.
