Could CLOCK: => 2:00 or something similar work? If it did, maybe this could work for Russell as well (if he didn't mind using a clocktable instead of seeing it in the headline). Btw, I like Eddward's idea. Two other candidates for the property list/table are status (TODO, DONE) and tags. It might be more work however refactoring all the code that uses/displays them than the consistency would be worth. --Scott
