Back-ends can indeed use specific properties (Beamer back-end does it with "BEAMER_ENV" and so on). Though, I suggest to prefix the property name with the name of the backend: "TEXINFO_OPTIONAL_TITLE" (perhaps a bit verbose). Then, one can access to it from the headline translator with: (org-element-property :texinfo-optional-title headline) Anyway, Jonathan Leech-Pepin will decide what to do about that.
