I use this, or at least things like this. For example:

* task
    :PROPERTIES:
    :start:    2014-11-03-08:00
    :task_id:  task_d
    :depends: task_a task_b task_c
    :duration: 30min
    :END:

Not multi-line, but currently I can feed any property that matches a
tj3 attribute (e.g. "task_id") and Org will "do the right thing." I
haven't followed this thread, but wanted to chime in with my usage in
case it affects the discussion/considerations around this.
