Thanks for spending so much time/energy considering it, despite the
fact that it would be incoherent with the rest of your interface!

Okay.

You know, I have `f' and `b' bound to org-agenda-date-later/-earlier,
and that would be perfectly adequate for me, *if* I got appropriate
visual feedback.  The problem is the red "S2" or "S3" I'm looking at
doesn't change on the fly when I reschedule.  And it's hard to train
myself not to hit `f' twice when I see S2 :-)

That's a good idea. I don't think I need etags in my agenda buffer, so
`M-.' works.
