  Hi! I tried a recent git snapshot (Fri May 30 19:28:04
2014 +0200) and performed some manual tests (1 to 5, see
below).

- in org-columns mode ("C-c C-x C-c"):

  - 1) PASS: org-columns-edit-value ("e") updates correctly the
    empty/whitespace string

- in normal org-mode (i.e. not org-columns mode):

  - 2) PASS: org-set-property ("C-c C-x p") and
       org-set-property-and-value ("C-c C-x P") update
       correctly the empty/whitespace string

  - 3) FAIL: when using org-set-property or org-set-property-and-value
       interactively, tab autocompletion for the "Property: " prompt
       can't find the name of property X if the old value of X was an
       empty/whitespace string
          
  - 4) FAIL: org-delete-property ("M-x org-delete-property") commands
       skips/ignores a property name if the value is empty/whitespace string

  I think that commit 822dcfc881a5df3249fcecf4b7bc71ee9c321b92 addressed
the tests 1) and 2) and they pass, so I'd say the commit is OK.

  The tests 3) and 4) pass if I use the following (naive,
demonstrative-only, just-to-give-the-idea) patch:

  For curiosity I also tested a wrong-syntax input:

  - 5) if the user edits manually the :PROPERTIES: block and
       adds an empty-valued property (example: :prop1:) and he forgets
       to add at least one whitespace character after :prop1: then
       the tests 1)-2)-3)-4) fail

  I'd say: 5) is acceptable behaviour, but special care must
be taken by users that hand-edit empty-valued properties, as it's
easy to miss a whitespace while typing.

> and thanks for reporting this,

Thanks to you for your work on this one. Cheers,

  Andrea
