But I just have a comment on your second advantage, something that can render your example inefficient: inheritance is not on by default, and you need to enable if for *specific properties*.
You can set `org-use-property-inheritance' to t, to make all properties inheritable, or you can set it to a list to enable specific properties. I suppose you meant that the former would be a bad idea. (And it could be, depending on your working habits, file size, outline nesting depth and the speed of your machine.)
But you're right, property inheritance is not on by default and I forgot to mention that this time around. (I think I did mention it in the previous long message where I presented the idea.)
Make it on by default would be a very bad idea -- just think at examples of the mails sent through Org-mime: what about setting a Cc or To somewhere and inheriting that in all the file/subtree/etc. May be scary or inefficient performance-wise? Anyway, setting inheritance of properties to on, means you should declare the behavior for vars x, y and z, ie declaring it 3 times... Except, maybe, if you say that "var: x, y, z" does that too (then you've two things in one shot -- why not?).
Yes, if my suggestion becomes reality, this could be a useful refinement. Yours, Christian
