This is not possible indeed, per property drawers syntax.

E.g., with the following document Paragra1 # comment Paragraph2 removing both the comment and the blank line above gives you a single paragraph, which doesn't match expectations. > I regard this as a bug, but if it's not how do others deal with similar > issues? I have the feeling that there is no perfect solution here, and something will break on one side or the other, anyway. Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou
