Please let's forget about fading out the "#+"-file-wide property for
now. I understand that the file-wide properties in their current
meaning need to stay a good while, maybe even as long as Org lives.
Back to the issue of the document level property drawer: could it be we
talk about literally nothing when talking about the "breaking"?
What is an example which shows how the introduction of a document level
property drawer breaks something in the Org universe? (I think there is
none.)
