Great.

Another option would be of course a deadline with 0 warning days in  
there.  This would show up as a due date.

The start date is, I think, meant to make sure that the item will show  
up on that date in the TODO list.  But I have heard that not all  
organizers do support it.

OK, I consider this closed, unless you tell me otherwise.
