BTW: Security-wise I would argue to even forbid the integer case. From
my view next to nobody uses and is used to the decimal codes of file
modes. So this decimal integer representation is the most error prone,
I would say. The more explicit (like "rwx-r-x-r--" etc.) the better.

I would also tend to only support something like "#o755" and forbid
"755" as well as "0755", just to be more explicit and to avoid
misinterpretation.

But all in all I support your patch and your arguments for the change.
Currently, I also do not really see why this attribute value (just a
string if the integer case is forbidden) will make the Org syntax more
complex.
