I like having property names (not their display names) in the atom  
entry, even though they are not the human readable ones. That's quite  
consistent with what other systems do in my experience.

I'd be wary of introducing in all entries something that can be  
derived (and cached quite well) from other information, in this case  
the type's property definitions. I don't see what property ids would  
bring here, I thought they were purely informative meta-information  
about a property's potential relationship to another property  
("semantically the same").
