Hello Carsten and everyone else reading,
yesterday I re-stumbled into the "problem B" described
below, and had a look at the Org sources. I think the solution
could be: if user sets a non-special property to "" or nil,
then remove the property.
An example of a possible (non-bulletproof, test-only-intended)
patch for "org-entry-put" follows.
