Tags are binary. They are there or not.
Property drawers allow you to assign values to variables.
I've never fully understood why some property drawers are set to binary. For controlling LaTeX export I have both a property ":clearpage: t" and a tag ":ignore:", and the tag makes more sense to me. Some of those may only exist in my personal config.
