[O] org-expiry not compatible with the new drawer syntax

[Samuel Loury]

Dear All,

I am running the version cd6fa4c15e8e35afa6beb9e89ad3723fb82df091 (git
sha) of org-mode.

I just realized that when creating a new entry in my org-diary
(`org-agenda-add-entry-to-org-agenda-diary-file'), the entry looks like:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
** test
  <2015-01-30 Fri>
   :PROPERTIES:
   :CREATED:  [2015-01-30 Fri 08:00]
   :END:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The property is added by an call to `org-expiry-insert-created' in the
`org-insert-heading-hook'. see in contrib/lisp/org-expiry.el:179

With more details:

In the process in inserting the diary entry,
`org-agenda-add-entry-to-org-agenda-diary-file'
calls (lisp/org-agenda.el:9460)
`org-agenda-insert-diary-as-top-level' (lisp/org-agenda.el:9479).

The later then calls `org-insert-heading' (calling the org-expiry hook
that creates the property drawer), and inserts the text of the heading
followed by a new line, resulting in the insertion of:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
** test

   :PROPERTIES:
   :CREATED:  [2015-01-30 Fri 08:00]
   :END:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Then `org-agenda-add-entry-to-org-agenda-diary-file' inserts the
timestamp, resulting in:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
** test
  <2015-01-30 Fri>
   :PROPERTIES:
   :CREATED:  [2015-01-30 Fri 08:00]
   :END:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

This is not compatible with the new drawer syntax (see
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/91752).

My opinion is that we should either consider that adding a property in
`org-insert-heading-hook' is a bad practice or change the functions that
create entries to make sure they move beyond a potentially created
properties drawer before adding extra information such as timestamps.

What is your opinion?

Best regards,
