Well, I tried setting org-agenda-todo-keyword-format to "%0s", which
didn't work, but I didn't think about the above.  So I tried this now.
It does remove the todo keyword, but it does only that.  In particular,
there is now a space at the beginning of each line, which I assume is
simply the space in the headline that succeeds the todo keyword.  Any
way of getting rid of that?  Thanks for the pointer so far.
