I wouldn't call that a kludge. That's where most of the mere mortals
expect the heading to be anyway. Also, it's somewhat back-end specific.

You only need to modify org-element if Org syntax has been changed.

I don't understand that part. For example:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* TODO Headline :tag:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
In the following buffer, you can have:
(org-element-property :priority (org-element-at-point))
(org-element-property :tag (org-element-at-point))
(org-element-property :todo-keyword (org-element-at-point))
(org-element-property :todo-type (org-element-at-point))
(org-element-property :level: (org-element-at-point))
...
So there is more than one property. See:
http://orgmode.org/worg/dev/org-export-reference.html
for a list of all properties associated to a given element or object
type.

I think the cleanest way to implement this would be to _not_ modify Org
syntax, because it is export back-end very specific. Something like:
#+attr_html: :header-groups (1 3)
| This | will |
| be | a header |
|-----------+-----------|
| This | won't |
|-----------+-----------|
| This will | be too |
|-----------+-----------|
| This | won't too |
You are talking about formulas, so, perhaps you have plans for the
spreadsheet. Anyway, if Org syntax changes, org-element.el will have to
be updated accordingly, and so will have all the back-ends.
Regards,
