Can Common Lisp keywords have function definitions and properties?

In "Common Lisp -- The Language", Steele writes: "[Keyword] symbols are
used only as labels and never to carry package-specific values or
properties."  This would seem to rule out properties.  But it says nothing
about function definitions, and it doesn't sound very definitive.

The two implementations I've used have answered the question differently.
Hmmm.
