Suppose you have a bunch of important tasks and a bunch of fluff tasks. It might be useful to be able to have the "agenda" item in org-agenda-custom-commands accept a tags search so that you can use :fluff: on the fluff tasks and assign a key for everything except :fluff: tasks. I was going to wait until after the Lisp syntax for searches was implemented and for me to get more experience before suggesting it. In any case, it looks like the same kind of thing with categories?

The denialism is worse than it ever was with even AIDS or MS. http://www.meactionuk.org.uk/What_Is_ME_What_Is_CFS.htm
