Hi Christian,

thanks for pointing to the relevant standards.

I agree that this would be nice, but because the technical way in which 
the agenda is constructed, this would be hard to implement.  The way it 
works is like this:

1. The agenda collects all entries for the given date.
2. The it checks if the entry specifies a time-of day in any way.  
Org-mode is very tolerant in this.  Times may be specified as part of a 
timestamp, but also in many free-format ways.

To implement what you ask for, I would have to collect entries for two 
different dates, check for times, throw away the ones with the second 
date and either not time at all, or a time larger than your limit.  All 
this is possible, but has significant overhead.  The purpose of the 
week agenda is to show entries of the next day at least in close 
proximity to entries of the current day.

Still, this is a good idea, and I will put it on my todo list, 
scheduled for a long winter day evening :-)

That is certainly true, but I see no reason to explicitly forbid them.  
This is something that can be easily left at a users discretion, don't 
you agree?

- Carsten
