Do the #+PROPERTY and #+PROPERTIES lines have different semantics?

Code blocks already piggy-back off of subtree properties pulling their
header arguments out of the properties specified on the subtree level.
Given that header arguments and properties are already thus interleaved
I believe that properties should be used on the file-wide level as well,
rather than introducing another synonymous keyword which adds no new
functionality.
Does that make sense?
