Yes, that is intended behavior and it works fine. The question was 
whether a time range without a time-stamp would work as well. something 
like...

** 9:55 am - 10:15 am wash the dog
- would put this task in "today's" agenda view.

I see Carsten's  point about not wanting to recognize any arbitrary text 
string which looks like a time to be considered a 
"time-of-specification". A possible compromise is to have a string which 
looks like "<10:15-10:30> " to be considered as a task for today which 
appears @ the appropriate time in the agenda view. The beauty is that 
(a) you avoid having to type in extra keystrokes to schedule it, (b) no 
need to clutter with an additional date and (c) if it doesn't get done 
or something, when I do the agenda view tomorrow, it shows up there as 
well and it doesn't get lost.

Of course, I may be asking for things that may have other negative 
implications, since after all, I'm still a rookie with org mode (still 
wet behind the ears) and maybe there are better approaches to this.  :-)
