Shouldn't this be a property of the document, rather than a general
rule?
Perhaps there should be a buffer-local-variable
`copy-properties-on-kill'. In the majority of cases, I think property
copying is the wrong thing to do.
This would also be a very trivial, isolated change. Furthermore, you
could default the value of that variable to non-nil, if you really
want that as the default behavior. And then, modes which DON'T want
property copying ever (like my emacs-wiki mode) could avoid it by
simply changing a local variable.
