Since properties drawers are almost exclusively folded, I don't think
incriminated properties clutter display. Besides, I don't think any
property is irrelevant to every user. How would we know?

More generally, I feel uneasy about completely hiding stuff. Org format
is not meant to be opaque. I think the current situation is fine, as far
as /core/ Org is concerned. Of course, users are free to extend it to
their own needs.
