No. Unfortunately, though obvious now, it evaded me that =scheduled=
needed an orgmode time stamp.

If you have =org-taskjuggler-keep-project-as-task=, it will take the
:start: property and use this in the project-as-top-level-task output.
Could this be used after =scheduled= and before defaulting to today's
date? This would seem to unify the syntax.

It strikes me as reasonable to take 1) scheduled, 2) :start: in
property drawer and 3) default to today's date (in that order).

What do you think?

I didn't see this mentioned at the tutorial:
- http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler.html

I'm writing an updated version for tj3, so I'll include this.


Thanks!
John
