Hi all,

I've been really behind on org-mode release and recently got to a 6.x
release.  I've noticed the following 6.06b.

* b list [0/3]
  - [-] [6/7] Stooge
    - [ ] Larry
    - [X] Curly
    - [X] Moe
    - [X] Shemp
    - [X] Joe
    - [X] Joe
    - [X] Joe
  - [-] [4/5] Marx
    - [ ] Groucho
    - [X] Harpo
    - [X] Chico
    - [X] Gummo
    - [X] Zeppo
  - [ ] [0/3] Eternal
    - [-] Laurel and Hardy
      - [ ] Stan
      - [X] Oliver
    - [-] [1/2] Abbott and Costello
      - [ ] Lou
      - [X] Bud
    - [-] [1/2] Martin and Lewis
      - [ ] Jerry
      - [X] Dean

The [-] tokens are new and I do love them and have wanted something
like them since before I was begging for what became the [/] and [%]
tokens.  On the other hand, I'm a little surprised by what the [/]
tokens got filled in with.  Is there a new file or custom option that
I missed or is it no longer possible to get sub levels to feed back up
to the Todo item?  I guess I could accept that if I got the old
behavior by removing the checkboxes from the lines with [-] in the
above example.  Otherwise, I'd really like to call it a bug, or at
least undesirable.

The more I think about it, using checkboxes to hid those below them
(like the [-] ones above) might be a nice way to hide the ones below
it might be nice, like so:

* catch phrases [0/3]
  - Curly
    - [ ] Hey Moe
    - [ ] nyuk nyuk nyuk
  - [ ] [0/3] hellos (<=== It don't count until we have 'em all)
    - [ ] hello
    - [ ] hello
    - [ ] hello


Unforunately, this becomes

* catch phrases [0/2]
  - Curly
    - [ ] Hey Moe
    - [ ] nyuk nyuk nyuk
  - [ ] [0/3] hellos (<=== It don't count until we have 'em all)
    - [ ] hello
    - [ ] hello
    - [ ] hello

I get it, but I didn't expect it.  I don't think I like it.

Edd
