Great.  As you can see from my other post, another use case just
popped up.

Am I right in thinking that you must already have a lot of the code
for this?  Presumably agenda generation and export must both do
headline iteration in a similar manner?

Full-blown reporting would be seriously cool.  Think: pretty coloured
graphs showing how the contents of your TODO lists vary over the days,
weeks, months ... :-)  Very useful for trending, planning, ensuring
that the various areas of your life are kept in balance according to
your "30,000-50,000 foot views", as David Allen calls them.
