Why isn't it the right approach?

DESCRIPTION could be moved to `org-element-document-properties'. But
then, we need to introduce `org-export-with-description', which implies
export back-ends have to deal with it somehow (ATM "ox-ascii" ignores
it).

Another option is to simply remove DESCRIPTION from "ox.el" and let
export back-ends in need of it to add it to their definition.

However, I don't see why KEYWORDS should accept markup. I also think it
should be moved to back-end definitions instead of "ox.el".
