This works, but not for a day or week view.
On the positive side, while I was trying to figure out how to do
this, I've started to rethink how I'm using the different date
keywords.
I was originally trying to overload the meaning of SCHEDULED. Making
a TODO item that starts in the future and then will continue showing
up until done (as in the manual) for "WAITING" items, but also as a
TODO item that starts in the future, but then should become a normal
TODO item for everything not a "WAITING" item.
I think a better approach to the second one is going to be using a
property like ACTIVEON, like so:
:PROPERTIES:
:ACTIVEON: <2008-10-01 Wed>
:END:
I'm still at the idea stage here, but think it could work with a hook
similar to org-expiry.el or org-depend.el

Totally not important. I was just trying to clean up some of my
agenda functions and feared I was missing something basic.
