A couple of examples: - annual events, such as anniversaries and birthdays. I'd like a SCHEDULED item a week or two ahead telling me to buy a present - every month there's a banking transaction I do that I'd like SCHEDULED In addition, there are periodic events I have where the current diary support is fine, but even for this information I would rather keep it in org format and mixed with relevant org files.
