For my purposes this would be a nice new feature. Specifying a directory
would imply the default filename.

Nice! For this to be practical, I need two additional features.
1. Ability to set "/some/dir/" on a per-file basis.
2. Ability to infer ".ext" from the source block.
I was actually extend your suggestion to a solution with both of these
properties. In my emacs init file I define:
(defun org-default-tangle-file-with-dir-from-property ()
(concat (or (org-entry-get nil "ORG_TANGLE_DIRECTORY" t) ".")
"/"
(file-name-base (file-name-sans-extension (buffer-file-name)))
"."
(let ((lang (car (org-babel-get-src-block-info t))))
(or (cdr (assoc lang org-babel-tangle-lang-exts)) lang))))
Then I set on the top of my org file, for example
#+property: ORG_TANGLE_DIRECTORY ../docs
After this the following works like a charm (at least so far):
:tangle (org-default-tangle-file-with-dir-from-property)

Good idea, I will explore this.

Will do.

Sure did. Thanks!
