I just started struggling with this when trying to make ical exports.
(In my not-really-defined planning system :-) I have multiple kinds of
events:
events that I wish to be aware of, and perhaps choose to go to, but I
don't consider myself to have a plan to attend. For this I use bare
active timestamps.
events that I am planning to attend, but which I feel reasonably free
not to. For this I'm using TODO and SCHEDULED: (which I am thinking
is wrong).
events/meetings that I am committed to attending. For these I use
APPT (a custom TODO sequence keyword) and SCHEDULED:
After writing the above, I think my use of SCHEDULED: for events is just
wrong, and I should use it only to label days (and perhaps times) that I
plan to complete TODO items, and then use APPT/active and TODO/active
for meetings and maybe-meetings.

I almost always leave the property drawer collapsed, and it seems like
it hides things I don't want to see. But I do want SCHEDULED, DEADLINE,
etc. to be very visible. On the other hand, I would like the location
property to be hoisted to the first/second line, so perhaps putting them
all in the property drawer and having a customizable view where everyone
can see their preferred subset, formatted nicely, would be best. Is
that more or less what you are suggesting?
