 I see what you are saying.  That has been a minor annoyance for me
as well.  I have been trying to deal with this by being, like you
suggested, more verbose.  But I wonder if agenda should show items
that are not scheduled/meant for the day.  To test the idea I decided
to write up a small test plan and see what we would want the final
agenda to look like.

How would you like the agenda to show up on, say, the 24th?
