I think the use of the word "regular" is not a good idea in their
documentation of org-end-of-meta-data.  I could not find any occurance
of the term "regular drawer" in the org-info manual.  There is a section
where the property drawer is called "special".

In conclusion I'd say that the logic of the recent documentation is okay
with "regular" meaning "non-special".

Finally I propose to remove completely the categorisation due to
"regular" from the documentation.  Which reads:

     When FULL is non-nil but not t, skip planning information, 
     properties, clocking lines and logbook drawers.

WDYT?
