Here is the current state:

ITEM property includes stars, TODO keyword, priority, headline and tags,
but only if they do not have already a dedicated column. So, in the
following example

  #+COLUMNS: %25ITEM %TODO %PRIORITY %TAGS

ITEM will contain only stars and headline. This cannot properly work in,
e.g., a clock table, which doesn't know about columns.

We can get rid of this "smart" behaviour and remove TODO keyword,
priority and tags in all cases.

However the situation is not so simple for the stars, since there is no
LEVEL special property. IOW, if we remove the stars, it is actually not
possible anymore to know the level of the headline.

If we want to remove them, I suggest adding a new LEVEL special
property. Note that in this case, user defined properties cannot be
labelled "level" anymore. Another option, as the OP suggested, is to
create a new special property, e.g., HEADLINE, which will contain only
the title.

WDYT?
