On a similar note, I like using the clocktable to see how long things
have taken me, but sometimes I just want to put a time value under a
heading, not a time range (because I forgot to clock in/out). Could
CLOCK: => 2:00 or something similar work? If it did, maybe this could
work for Russell as well (if he didn't mind using a clocktable instead
of seeing it in the headline).

Btw, I like Eddward's idea. Two other candidates for the property
list/table are status (TODO, DONE) and tags. It might be more work
however refactoring all the code that uses/displays them than the
consistency would be worth.
