Good point. But if we wanted to document this property here, I think it would 
deserve a separate paragraph, before we start talking about properties, that 
talks about the SPI and explain how to provide an implementation - where the 
canonical way (providing an implementation of the provider that the 
ServiceLoader loads) would be documented first. As you say, that property is 
already documented in the SPI, and it's probably better to only document it at 
the place where we explain  how the SPI is loaded.
