Then perhaps just a special value for buffer-invisibility-spec, or
some other simple variation of a property Org already uses?

That is also a possibility, but it will then affect kill-line
_anywhere_ in the buffer, whereas a text property can have a more
localized effect.  Are you sure kill-line will need this customization
on the whole buffer?
