That would be great.  Except, if a PROPERTIES drawer holds only hidden
properties,
it would be best to completely hide the :PROPERTIES: line (using
outline-flag-region), rather than display it in
a dimmed font.  So that, unless you explicitly ask to reveal these
lines, you edit the file as if they weren't there.
