Bah, replying to digests is a pain. Switching to regular delivery. In 
response to Thomas Gehrlein, who suggested that one way to deal with 
hierarchical tasks is to have undated tasks on a project page, and that 
"the biggest challenge is finding a good key-binding for 
planner-create-task-without-date:"

I've never used planner-create-tasks-without-date, but I do have lots of 
undated tasks that I just created manually (I keep a reading list, for 
example, that's just a project page without dates). Instead of looking 
for a new keybinding for another function, what about creating an 
undated task if either 1) a non-daily page is entered at the create task 
prompt, or 2) the current buffer is a non-daily page and some non-date 
value is entered at the prompt?

As I'm new to the list and am still learning planner, my apologies if 
this is already a well-trod possibility (or already exists? Wouldn't be 
the first time I've daydreamed about existing functionality!).
