Oops, frobbing org-agenda-ignore-deadlines won't help.  It works in 
the case of driver's license renewal, but it breaks a different case.  
Say I've been asked to review a document by October 31.  So I set a 
deadline of 2010-12-31.  But I do want to see it on my tags-todo list 
now because if I had time now, I could review the documents and submit 
my comments well before the deadline.

So that's why I use both SCHEDULE and DEADLINE: for tasks I want to 
hide from the daily/weekly agenda *and* tags-todo lists until a 
certain date without removing unscheduled items with deadlines from 
tags-todo lists.
