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.
