Emphasis, this is a never-ending story.  I'll check if it makes sense 
to change
this case, but there will always be special cases where things do not 
work...

This is on purpose, please use <...> or [[...]]] around URL's with 
special characters.

Arrrgh, yes this is a bug.  Will be fixed soon.  Dammit, I messed up a
release again - and I thought I had implemented something cool :-(

Yes.  I don't remember why I put these, maybe to make things more clear.
Can you suggest a better output format?

Hmmmm, would it not be useful to click on them?  I am not sure what 
calendar programs would support that.  Need to make a few test myself.

I don't understand this one.

Hmmm, yes, maybe.

That is a no, it has no place there.

Use the agenda restricted to the current file:

C-c a 1 a, maybe make a custom command where you change the ndays 
parameter to get a longer listing?

I sort-of do.  I guess you would to allow tags for these? And have them
listed in TODO lists etc???????

This would be great, but I cannot do it (don't know how).
See my discussion about plain list items some time ago.

But hmmmm, your proposal does ring a bell somewhere - I'll put this 
into a background job, lets see what it does.
