Thompson" Cc: emacs-orgmode@gnu.org Can you give us a better idea of the use case? As I understand, unprioritzed todos count as "B" by default. Since most of my tasks have a priority of B, I've never found setting priorities to be helpful until I sit down to review my work for the day. I prioritize items that are important (or urgent) with A at the beginning of the day (no more than a couple, usually). Most items are "B" and rarely more than half of those get done. If I want to "sink" an item but keep it scheduled, it gets a priority of "C". These are often things I do not know when recording an item.
