Just in case anyone is following this, but it is starting to feel like
my own personal thread.

>> 4 Improvements necessary to make it truly useful
>> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1. Solved.

>>   2. Accumulate the time Remaining in the same way that CLOCKSUM does;
>>      it propagates upwards to higher level headings so that you can see
>>      (e.g.) how long Chapter 1 will take in total

This is done using {:} in the column specification:

#+COLUMNS: %10ITEM %5Effort{:} %5CLOCKSUM %5Remaining{:}

So now (part of) my dynamic block looks like this:

| ITEM                                 | Effort | CLOCKSUM | Remaining |
|--------------------------------------+--------+----------+-----------|
| .1 Heading One                       |   4:28 |     1:46 |      2:48 |
| ... 1.1 A sub heading                |        |     0:42 |           |
| .        Inline ting                 |   1:00 |     0:42 |      0:24 |
| ... 1.2 Another sub heading          |        |     1:04 |           |
| .        Write this bit              |   1:20 |     0:49 |      0:31 |
| .        Do something                |   1:23 |     0:05 |      1:18 |
| .        This bit too                |   0:45 |     0:10 |      0:35 |
| ... 1.3 Heading with no inline tasks |        |          |           |
| ...... 1.3.1 a                       |        |          |           |


>>   3. Refresh all the Remaining properties automatically

Any ideas?  (Don't worry I'll work it out....)
