I remember now what the problem with this was. The exporter uses the top
task both as the task and the container for the project[1]. So an start
and an end on this task applies to both the project and the task (which
is not always what you want). You might want to assign a start to the
top task but probably not an end. The end is supposed to be calculated
based on efforts and resource availability. But unless you specify a
default duration you will have to specify and end date for the
_project_.

Maybe we need some fake (in the sense that they are not tj3 attributes)
attributes to specify start and end of a project.

Thanks
