This kind of expectation has come up again and again over the years in different forms. To add meta data to a block of text (which is how I view tagging, or properties) you either need XML like enclosing tags or a headline (as Org does), bearing in mind it has to be plain text. I do not think there is any other clean way to implement this other than the way it is presently. To explain with some examples: Org markup syntax like, *bold*, /italics/, etc, can be considered XML like enclosing tags (simplified to a great extent), and tags, properties, TODO keywords, priorities, etc are examples of the headline based division. If you or any other user wants this kind of feature, you have to come up with a syntax that is not intrusive and doesn't break basic Org features. Hope this helps you, and future users, better understand the relevant issues. Cheers, -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.
