As I understand it, the proposed patch hides items scheduled in the
future in the weekly agenda. E.g., if it is Monday, tasks scheduled for
Friday with a "STYLE=hidden" property would not appear under the Friday
slot in the weekly agenda.

I believe this is a perfect scenario for a skip-function. I offered an
example in this post:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/24856/focus=25595

If you do decide to apply the patch, I would request that an option be
added to turn off the check for a STYLE=hidden property, so as to
minimize any undesired expenses in constructing the agenda. 

My argument is that if a test can be accommodated by current
configuration options (e.g., the skip-function) and is unlikely to be
invoked by a significant number of users, it should not be
hard-coded.

Best,
Matt
