technically it's a "modifier", not a property. And it is documented 
under "boolean properties", here: 
http://rkward.sourceforge.net/documents/devel/plugins/reference.html#propertytypes . 
But no, it's not too easy to find... Any idea on where this info would fit in 
nicely?

Also note, that - unfortunately - modifiers are a bit tricky to use. For 
instance, if you have a checkbox like this:

	<checkbox id="cb" value_unchecked="0" value="1" checked="true" .../>

cb.state.not will be the *string* "0". Writing something like

	<convert ... mode="and" sources="bla.state;cb.state.not"/>

will not work as expected, unfortunately, which greatly limits its usefulness. 
I guess I'll have to work on this some more, some day.

Regards
Thomas
