My... ummm.... screen doesn't fit very much more than 80 characters
long. <sheepish grin> But yes, I'd love to add all sorts of context to
a task. For notes, it's pretty easy as you can just add lots and lots
of links.

Even with fontlocking, the above example looks kinda intimidating if
it's your normal task view. That said, if we keep that data in the
text file but just display something like this:

#A0 Task description {{Task:10}} (PlanPage)                     [...]

where selecting the [...] or choosing something like M-x
planner-show-context (not yet written) will display a buffer with
the full task text and/or the hidden links... =)

start-to-show date is already handled by when it's scheduled.
must-complete-by can be done by adding text to the task description,
although it would be nice to have a list sorted by deadline... <muses>
