with the last option as "list of strings or regexp's" this would be
exactly what I would have needed in some practical use cases, and it
seems to be just natural given the dual nature of property drawers
(storage for Org-mode-internal data and storage for use-case related
data).

With 'strings or regexp's' I mean that it should be possible to match on
key-prefixes, like FOO in the following example

* My Header
  :PROPERTIES:
  :CUSTOM_ID: ABC123
  :FOO_BAR:  13
  :FOO_FOO:  bar bar
  :END:

no matter if the user actually has to give a regexp or if ox.el takes care of
bulding a regexp from a given string like 

,----------------------------------------------
| (let ((rgxp (concat strg  "[_-[:word:]]*"))))
`----------------------------------------------

or so...
