That mostly makes sense. Org's not case-sensitive, correct? I was
looking at the [granted, outdated] taskjuggler documentation and it
features estimates in days (i.e. 10d):
- http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler.html

Is this recent (as in post-writing of that worg page)? Or are there
other formats that could be accepted? It's unfortunate that org and
taskjuggler overlap on this, as ideally one could pass any tj
attribute as a property and it'd "do the right thing." I see why the
issue exists now.

So if I want to estimate a task taking 10 days, I need to input 80:00?
