Ok, explanation quite satisfactory. Second wish:

When exporting to icalendar, would it be possible to make the property
LOCATION to respect the setting in org-use-property-inheritance? I
like to group seminars under one heading, so I could just set the
LOCATION property there, and still get it exported to the .ics file
for each of the sub-headings.

If I understand correctly, the place to change is in org-exp.el, lines
4336 and 4458: (org-entry-get nil "LOCATION") from nil to 'selective'
or something.

Perhaps the selective inheritance could be allowed for DEADLINE
and SCHEDULED, too? I could imagine using this, too.

Best,
