Correct.

I should probably give the Python experts time to respond.  I think  
that also with Mk4py, properties get added as soon as they are set  
(added as temp props, since there is no backing store anyway).  You  
could even add a row, set some properties, and then delete the row  
again.  Not sure about subviews.  Note that internally, views outside  
a storage are essentially just views with their private hidden in- 
memory storage under the hood.  My suggestion would be: why not try it?
