Oh!

Thank you for making this clear, I had assumed that #+PROPERTIES: lines
were an integral part of Org-mode which code block header arguments were
simply making use of.  Having read the section of the info manual you
point out above I see that I was mistaken.  I've just pushed up what I
consider to be a clean implementation.  Put briefly the new behavior is
that "properties may be used to specify header arguments".  More
completely...

1. The #+PROPERTIES: (and #+BABEL:) directives no longer exist.

2. The existing #+PROPERTY: line may now be used to specify values for
   header arguments, e.g.,

   #+PROPERTY: results silent

   would silence all results in the current buffer.

I think this should be simple, easy to remember, and it certainly
cleaned up the code base.  Please let me know what you think of this new
setup.

Thanks -- Eric
