I agree adding an EVENT: (or "APPT:") would be nice.

What I suggest is this:

1. merge org-schedule and org-deadline into a new org-plan function.

2. allow org-plan to set a new org-schedule-special keyword (this
   keyword would be "EVENT" by default, but customizable.)

Now I'm unclear yet whether the set of features that is available 
for scheduled entries should also return special-keyword entries
(e.g. org-agenda-get-scheduled) or if this should be a completely 
separate set of features -- in which case I have the feeling we 
are really emulating the use of an :EVENT: property.

What is your take on this?

Thanks for bringing this up anyway!

PS: it took me long to reply because I'm also considering using 
the property drawer to store timestamps like SCHEDULED, DEADLINE
and so on.   But it is a big move and we can't delay your request 
by relying on such a change.
