The tag ARCHIVED will keep a subtree from exporting (depending on the
variable `org-export-with-archived-trees').  But I guess this
is not what you want.

A section starting with the word `org-comment-string' will not
be exported.  Maybe, if you don't use this for comments, change
it to "PRIVATE" or whatever.  Then you can do

  * info for all
    Lets all hail the boss
  * info for group
    Make sure that you ask me before you ask the boss,
    because he is so busy with important stuff.
  * PRIVATE info
    Actually, the boss is a total crackpot.


Properties are new.  I guess if I had known about properties
2 years ago, #+CATEGORY would have become a property.
There are a number of things that could potentially
be set through properties.  This needs more time,
because I am wary about having too many different ways to
set the same variable.  But things that are candidates are:

- Category
- Archive location
- File name for export of a subtree
