 can you describe how you would use such a view in your workflow?

 Sure. I'll mostly use it in my reviews or mindsweeps. I am using the
 trigger list from the GTD book (also on
 http://wiki.43folders.com/index.php/Trigger_List ) so I'll start by
 looking through the projects that are already started to see if
 something requires my attention, then review the list of stuck (or
 unstarted) projects and see if I can come up with a next action for
 them.

 It's important for me that there are no items that occur on both
 lists, since that means I will review them twice (and might end up not
 reviewing them thoroughly). Without the list of unstuck projects I can
 only look at stuck projects and then at all projects.

Or you can look at NEXT actions which should only be unstuck project
tasks you can work on immediately.

No, that's not the same.

 - Next actions might not have a project at all. A single action is
   not a project.
 - Projects may have more than one next action. If the order doesn't
   matter, I'll just do them in the appropriate context to further the
   project. If I use those actions as placeholder for a project, the
   project will turn up multiple times.
