This is wrong. Only the keyword is ignored, not the timestamp. This is
why DEADLINE and SCHEDULED location is unrelated to section 8.1.

Hi Nicolas,

Will you please double check this? On my system, the entry does *not* show up in the agenda (C-c a a). If I remove the DEADLINE:, then it does show up. So, for the important purpose under discussion, the timestamp is ignored.

Emacs version 24.4.1 on Debian Stable

org-version: Org mode version 9.0 (9.0-elpaplus @ /home/alant/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20161102/)

I think "immediately following the headline" is unambiguous. No need to
specify "no space or other text is allowed".

I modified section 8.3 accordingly.

WDYT?

Subject to the above, OK. Just so long as there is a good strong warning about it.

 

Thanks,

Alan
