To be honest, what you are suggesting sounds interesting, but I don't
know remember well enough to know if it does what it sounds like.
It would be nice to have a 'hot-key' interface to generate a project
tree. I've looked a little at form and template packages for emacs to
see if any look like they'd let me easily create a template to
generate a basic "Project Tree" for my org files.
For now, I have a template in each org file that I cut and paste and
then fill in when I need to 'create' a new project. At some point I'd
like to come up with a command that would prompt me for the heading,
an initial status/description, a category and other option info
(deadline, priority, todo-state) and use that to insert a project tree
into the correct org file (I have one per category) with the supplied
heading, the description under the status subheading I maintain with
the current data (inactive) before it, and with the other info where I
want it. I admit this is very specific to how I do things and I
haven't read GTD so it probably isn't how others would want it.
It sounds like what you are suggesting might be able to so some of
that, though I think what I'm suggesting might be over the top or an
abuse of remember.
I guess I'm looking at various trees as data types in a duck-typing
sense. (If it's in the right place and has the right shape, it's a
duck.) It would be nice to easily define constructors for those
types. It's a style thing for me, but I'd also like to be able to
describe my ducks in my org files rather than my .emacs files since
that's where I line up my ducks. I don't know how to do it yet, I'm
not sure how to generalize it and given my skill with copy and yank I
can't say it essential. Just a nice idea.

This is actually the feature make me make up my mind to migrate from
planner to org.
But the feature I propose is not important anymore. Since the
*remember* buffer is in org-mode, we can use the normal org key
bindings to set timestamps.
However I still feel there is room for improvement to make remember
the input engine for GTD etc. ;)
