* org-mobile-push and agenda IDs

I recently upgraded my org-mode, and found that org-mobile-push
started to litter my org files with property drawers.  I finally
figured out how to turn these off (via
org-mobile-force-id-on-agenda-items), but the org-mode manual makes it
sound like they're necessary for the proper operation of MobileOrg
[1].  I have a ton of TODO items on my agenda, and I really don't want
property drawers all over my files (even if they're collapsed to a
single line); is there a better way to handle this in my case?

[1] <http://orgmode.org/manual/Pushing-to-MobileOrg.html> "While
creating the agendas, Org-mode will force1 an ID property on all
entries referenced by the agendas, so that these entries can be
uniquely identified if MobileOrg flags them for further action."

Hi Tom,

They are not required, but they eliminate potential problems that may
be encountered with the simple path-based node identification scheme.
The risk level is fairly low, and you should be fine with the force
option disabled.

The path-based id scheme fails if you have this:

* Parent
** A name
*** A node you didn't edit
** A name
*** A node you edited

The path to the node you edited is ambiguous and will cause a sync
conflict.  As long as you keep this in mind, you should be fine.

Hope this helps,
Richard

So as long as I don't duplicate names in the same level, I should be
okay?  I don't see myself ever doing that anyway, so that seems
harmless enough.

Aside — there's no way to cycle the visibility of drawers to
*completely* hidden, is there?  I wouldn't mind the property drawers
as much if I could completely ignore their existence during routine
org-mode editing.  :-)
