Not sure if this is already clear, but just in case: The functionality 
is already there. PROPERTY lines set buffer-wide properties.

This works now:

#+TITLE: My foobar file
#+PROPERTY: foo 1
#+PROPERTY: bar 2
#+PROPERTY: baz 3

Replacing it with a top-level property drawer before the outline would 
make another bit of syntax redundant, and it would sometimes save a 
bit of typing (if there are many buffer-wide properties tobe set):

#+TITLE: My foobar file
:PROPERTIES:
:foo: 1
:bar: 2
:baz: 3
:END:

I have come to expect that any file-wide settings are in #+... lines 
and that any property drawers are associated with outline entries. I 
don't know how important it is to maintain those expectations.

Yours,
Christian
