This has been requested before. Property drawers are Org meta data, they
are not for user's cosumption. Though you can export some properties
with macros (see {{{property{NAME}}}} macros).
You can also create a derived back-end that will handle these elements
just fine.
AFAIK all backends (excepted "org", for obvious reasons) ignore property
drawers, as they should.
