I guess I didn't explain myself clearly. I wanted to generate those dated headings under the "Daily" heading for the current date only. Just a shortcut so I can hit a single key to add todo items for today, and have them added to my chronological "Daily" tree. I've just found that I'm managing TODO and agenda scheduled items well, but I didn't have a good way to handle all the little miscellaneous items that pop up. No reason to spend time filing them elsewhere, just a date would suffice. It also helps keep the tree sparse when searching.
