Does it?
I don't claim to be native English, but this conclusion seems really weird 
to me.  Why on earth would information be read only and properties not?

Properties are part of a document;  like amount of legs on a fly or number 
of pages is a property of a document.

Information, on the other hand is about meta data as well.

Maybe you, as a programmer, as used to altering properties whereas a 
typist is used to registering document information.

I suggest we just follow the KDE standards instead of trying to play word 
games.
