Yes, i inferred that from the fact that the summary type is
automatically updated when changing the property value from
the column view.

So far as C-c C-x C-c does the updating job by computing the summary, i
guess we just need a function that replaces the values of the properties
when they exist (in parent and children).
Such a function should be interactive and might called by
`write-file-hooks'.

Very right.

A prefix argument sounds good to me.
Certainly all these questions are not #1 priority. As you said,
proprities are new and it might be wise to wait for more people to
interact with them...
