I liked this idea from Gaetan. But thinking about it more I am still torn:

This is a change in behaviour. People might have built things assuming the item
data is not there and might suddenly expose more data, than they wanted to.

I know that Jonathan is probably right in that this was initially a regression
from bug 5579, but we missed to fix this for a really long time now :(

Would it be really bad to make the items a configuration option? I know some
people hate new prefs... but the Web Services tab still has plenty of room...
