Although I suppose I could set org-agenda-ignore-deadlines > to 'all and just rely on the daily/weekly agenda to show them to me ... 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. ajk
