That achieves opposite effect, but if nobody else complains, I will
not mind it.

IMHO, when there shall be option like:

(setq org-adapt-indentation 'properties-only)

where only properties would be indented. It is not same as what
headline-data does.

As if text begins on beginning of the line, there is visual
distinction together with the colon that properties are there.
