Thats the obvious thing to do in this case, and you can do everything
you want this way, but there are some alternatives too.

I wrote 'org-dp-filter-node-props' based on 'org-dp-contents', so only
the property-drawer of the current entry is parsed and its content (the
node-properties) filtered. This is meant mostly for local usage (in
contrast to the global parse-tree), but can be used as function argument
for org-map-entries too. 

The big advantage is that it becomes really easy to filter out all the
system properties, or all properties that do not belong to a specific
application. I use it quite often now because I like the database
functionality of Org properties.
