Subject: Re: Why are special properties like CLOSED etc. not in the properties drawer?

Hi all
For many use cases I would like one of both opposites:
1) the option to have e. g. CLOSED: as :CLOSED: in a drawer and on its
own line as mentioned before
2) the option to have e. g. :CATEGORY: without any drawer, like:
* holidays
:CATEGORY: holiday
** xmas
<2011-12-25 Sun>
** new year
<2012-01-01 Sun>
instead of first looking at:
* holidays
:PROPERTIES:...
** xmas
and then navigate to :PROPERTIES: to open it:
* holidays
:PROPERTIES:
:CATEGORY: holiday
:END:
** xmas
To see the category directly, of course there are `C-u C-u C-u <TAB>',
column view and maybe more, but these might not always be preferred.
As a coincidence or not in the choice of the property for the example
above, :CATEGORY: is the only special property that is allowed as a
key in the properties drawer, see
http://orgmode.org/manual/Special-properties.html
and it is also the only special property that can not live (yet?)
outside this drawer.
