OK.  But that does seem weird to me.  Meetings seem like things that
should be scheduled, but they are not TODO items, so they don't seem
like the sort of thing that should get a TODO marker (which it what
"DONE" is), and they don't seem like the sort of thing that should
require an active dismissal.

So it seems like "SCHEDULED" is just the Wrong Thing for stuff like my
meeting.  Is there any different flag I could use that would give me a
single appearance in the Agenda?
