Tassilo,

The root item is in fact a TODO item with a scheduled date, I have just been
using checkboxes as children of the root TODO item for tracking the
individual work items related to the TODO.  So for example:

* TODO Prepare for trip
[ ] pack clothes
[ ] print boarding tickets
[ ] turn on alarm

I suppose could swap out the checkboxes for two stars instead, I was just
asking.
