First, I have just begun to use column view. Although it seems it still 
has bugs here and there, it is a awesome concept! I never thought in a 
text based system we can achieve something similar to MS project (Sort 
of. I wouldn't want to see org-mode to emulate everything in MS project 
anyway.)

Now, my question/suggestion:

I have my column format set to:
"%66ITEM %10TODO %10SCHEDULED %3PRIORITY %TAGS"

When I press "e" in the "Scheduled" column, how can I unschedule (remove 
the existing date) the item? Can we use "nil" or maybe other special 
character to indicate that no date is selected?

I can certainly use "C-u C-c C-s" to unschedule and press "r" to 
refresh, but that kills the fun of "editing in place".

Thanks for giving this a thought.
