The section you found in the manual and the value of
org-special-properties would seem the logical places to look for such a
complete list.

However, there are some discrepancies in the two. There seem to be some
"very special" properties that are mentioned in the doc but not in the
variable.

I think so: LEVEL is mentioned in neither place, although it is
mentioned in sec. 10.3.3, "Matching tags and properties, which I presume
is where you found it. It should probably be added to sec. 7.2, and
maybe added to org-special-properties.

Here's my census of special properties from these three places:

Are there others? Should org-special-properties include them all?
