Headlines without TODO keywords are by definition not a todo item, so they should not appear in the global todo list. You can schedule them or put a deadline on them, and they will appear in the agenda view, but not in the todo list (C-c a t). Please clarify how you distinguish an "item/task with no TODO keyword" from an ordinary headline used to structure the outline. Also, take a look at custom agenda views. You could define an agenda view that lists the todo list, and additionally includes the results of a search (e.g. all items with a certain tag) below that. HTH, Jan
