I think most "key" pages have both.

But all the properties on that page have their own page which gives 
(sometimes more, sometimes less) detailed instructions on how to use 
them.

This is also not really a page that has to be viewed on its own. It is 
part of the bigger overview of map features on 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_Features
I also think it needs a cleanup. For instance: frequency. Why is that 
under properties when it is also mentioned in railways? Is it used in 
other place (and powerlines)?

Do you have other examples?
