If this would mean that the category setting like this is for only
that subtree, instead of every entry after that category setting, I
support this feature immensely (same for archive ofcourse).

I can not use categories at all at the moment, since for most entries
I just have a "default" category which will do, but some things should
get a special category - and I hate littering #+CATEGORY lines under
entries which clearly should not have them, like:

#+CATEGORY: Common

* TODO Item 1
* Job tasks
#+CATEGORY: Job
** TODO Task 1
** TODO Task 2
#+CATEGORY: Common
* Todo Item 2

This is just ugly, compared to:

#+CATEGORY: Common

* TODO Item 1
* Job tasks
  :PROPERTIES:
  :CATEGORY: Job
  :END:
** TODO Task 1
** TODO Task 2
* Todo Item 2
