Still trying to understand the use cases:

How are these flags configured, e.g. if I want to write a content type 
that should work with CPS? Can I set the properties as part of the fti 
data in my product? Can I set them in the Types Tool TTW? Or does a CPS 
tool set them, using properties like annotations?
