Re: shapes-ISSUE-11 (S9 impossible): S9 is about existing but unspecified values

The problem is that some of S9 appears to be asking for a constraint that 
states that a contract can have a property value for its end date.  This is 
different from the ICV constraint provided for bonds, which requires a 
specified value for the end date.

What would a constraint that required that it was possible to have a value for 
a property look like?  What would it mean?
