Apply polish to core nodes and to definitions for all properties remaining therein (Part 1)

[PhilipMusk]

Apply polish to core nodes and to definitions for all properties remaining therein:

1. On a node by node basis, review the properties contained within each core node, and remove any that are no longer needed
2. Apply polish to the property definitions for all remaining properties within core nodes
