Huh, that was easy, thank you!
Why didn't I find it? I was too deep into "SCHEDULED" and "DEADLINE"
thinking and simply did not read the docs fully:
Plain time stamp
A simple time stamp just assigns a date/time to an item. This is
just like writing down an appointment in a paper agenda, or like writing
down an event in a diary, when you want to take note of when something
happened. In the timeline and agenda displays, the headline of an entry
associated with a plain time stamp will be shown exactly on that date.
* Meet Peter at the movies <2006-11-01 Wed 19:15>
* Discussion on climate change <2006-11-02 Thu 20:00-22:00>
Sorry for stealing your time. And thanks again.
Rainer
