Yes, I have many of those "Meeting with John Doe" appointments with no
subtree, too.
Additionally, there are some more complex outdated entries, that have
subtrees and done todos.

I'd tag it with the archive tag.

Yes, what I want to spot are enties with an active (or also inactive?
not sure about this one) timestamp that is before today, and if it's a
TODO, it has to be in a DONE state. The same must hold for any
subtrees.

I don't use clocking, but only changes to the TODO state are recorded in
LOGBOOK.
> What is the right behavior?
Well, basically I'm just looking for a search facility that shows me an
agenda view with all entries that contain only timestamps before today
and no pending todos, so that I can use the agenda commands to act on
them. Some will be deleted, others archived.
Bye,
Tassilo
