I'll try to answer that one, under the supervision of the guru...
Well, the following works:
:PROPERTIES:
:var: foo=7
:var+: baz=3
:END:
so your syntax looks correct, but AFAIK the `+' is only supported at this
stage for the `var' property: you can't take any property and add a `+' to
transform it in an accumulative property.
Whether this should be restricted by default or open by default, I have no
opinion at this stage.
I know, however, multivalued properties are sort of already well supported.
See http://orgmode.org/manual/Using-the-property-API.html for more info.
Best regards,
Seb
