Hi Pete

This keeps them off the global todo lists and tags searches.  They still
show up on the agenda when you look at daily and weekly views
org-deadline-warning-days before the deadline.  You can also set custom
warning dates individually on tasks as in

   DEADLINE: <2009-07-01 Wed +1m -3d>

I meant the global todo list and the results of tags searches (C-c a t,
C-c a m)  The tasks show up on your dated agenda with C-c a a.

The _only_ place I see tasks with dates is in the C-c a a view.
