Just eyeballing this:

def name
    @name ||=3D ( property =3D content_properties.find_by_ke= y('name') ? property.value : "" )
end

This isn't tested (because I'm not planning on implementing content_propert= ies and find_by_key and so on) so it may not work out of the box, but it sh= ould give you and idea of what to shoot for.  I did test this on @= name ||=3D ( a =3D nil ? a.value : "" ) as a sanity check an= d got the expected "".
