I agree adding an EVENT: (or "APPT:") would be nice. What I suggest is this: 1. merge org-schedule and org-deadline into a new org-plan function. 2. allow org-plan to set a new org-schedule-special keyword (this keyword would be "EVENT" by default, but customizable.) Now I'm unclear yet whether the set of features that is available for scheduled entries should also return special-keyword entries (e.g. org-agenda-get-scheduled) or if this should be a completely separate set of features -- in which case I have the feeling we are really emulating the use of an :EVENT: property. What is your take on this? Thanks for bringing this up anyway! PS: it took me long to reply because I'm also considering using the property drawer to store timestamps like SCHEDULED, DEADLINE and so on. But it is a big move and we can't delay your request by relying on such a change. -- Bastien
