I hate to change syntax, but the syntax you mention above does look both
appealing and natural.  Even with working file local variables [1].

That is very good news.  With that portion working I would agree that
this should be a fairly straightforward task.

I think these are great ideas.  Personally I'd love to see them
implemented.  Unfortunately I don't have time to work on an
implementation currently.  I'm surprised that none of the users who
motivated this discussion have chimed in.  Their opinions may be more
valuable than my own in this regard (as I'm not a heavy #+Property
user).

Thanks for the clean and initially tested implementation idea!

Footnotes: 

[1]  Thanks to Bastien my patch allowing variables like
     `org-babel-default-header-args:R' to be set file-local has been
     applied to Emacs.
