    * or more property accessors (getter/setter pair) that enqueue an async

-   * For basic usage of this mixin, simply declare attributes to observe via
-   * the standard `static get observedAttributes()`, implement `_propertiesChanged`
-   * on the class, and then call `MyClass.createPropertiesForAttributes()` once

-   * prior to instancing. Last, call `this._enableProperties()` in the element's

+   * For basic usage of this mixin:

+   * -   Declare attributes to observe via the standard `static get observedAttributes()`. Use
+   *     `dash-case` attribute names to represent `camelCase` property names. 
+   * -   Implement the `_propertiesChanged` callback on the class.
+   * -   Call `MyClass.createPropertiesForAttributes()` **once** on the class to generate 
+   *     property accessors for each observed attribute. This must be called before the first 
+   *     instance is created, for example, by calling it before calling `customElements.define`.
+   *     It can also be called lazily from the element's `constructor`, as long as it's guarded so
+   *     that the call is only made once, when the first instance is created.

    * Any `observedAttributes` will automatically be
