It's not an option of what is simplest - we can't change the public api.
also, your worry about not exposing the properties to the rest of the
assembly is incorrect.  "protected internal" doesn't mean protected AND
internal (i.e. only available to subclasses in the same assembly).  it
means protected OR internal (i.e. available to subclasses and to the
rest of the assembly).  So those properties are already exposed to the
rest of the assembly.

since it's not a public api, they can't in a portable way.
