Subject: Bug: org lets me mess things up too easily [7.01trans]

Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen.  You don't know how to make a good report?  See

I've been repeatedly finding org items in my agenda that don't behave
correctly.  I discovered a partial explanation for the issue today
when I inspected this item, which I couldn't seem to reschedule:

*** TODO create network user for itunes and iphoto
    SCHEDULED: <2010-10-03 Sun>
    Why didn't I think of this earlier!?
    SCHEDULED: <2010-10-01 Fri>
    :PROPERTIES:
    :ID:       909C7F52-FC6C-4EAC-8287-39A289A1ADAD
    :END:
    [2010-10-01 Fri 13:09]

This always showed up in the agenda as being scheduled for 10-01, but
rescheduling it would put the new scheduled date in just below the
TODO line, rather than changing the line from 10-01.  I guess that
means I added the "Why didn't I think of this earlier!?"  text right
below the TODO line, but I wasn't supposed to?  So what *are* the
rules for where body text can appear in an item?  And why doesn't org
make it harder for me to break those rules?

[As a general theme, I've had similar problems with habits, where I've
misspelled the format for the repeating date and Org didn't warn me.
Can this stuff be made more idiot-proof?]

Thanks!
