The draft currently says:

BindingProperty :
SingleNameBinding
PropertyName : SingleNameBinding
PropertyName : BindingPattern Initialiseropt

BindingElement :
SingleNameBinding
BindingPattern Initialiseropt

Which can be simplified as:

BindingProperty :
SingleNameBinding
PropertyName : BindingElement

BindingElement :
SingleNameBinding
BindingPattern Initialiseropt

Probably,

The bigger change is in refactoring the evaluation semantics, but on first glance there doesn't seem to be anything incompatible between the semantics of BindingProperty and BindingElement that would prevent doing what you suggest.

I'll look at it more closely at some point soon.
