What part of the docs do you mean here? You can very well have anonymous
value types as C++-declared properties of other types. It may be that 
we're still missing some bits and pieces for the creation from JS values 
to work. So far the approach is only used by the QtQuick value types. 
Some of those are indeed anonymous, but all of them happen to use the 
foreign/extended hack. It should also work without that hack, though. 
Feel free to open a bug report or submit a patch.

best regards,
Ulf
