IMO it does. Just like it (IMHO) does in HEAD.

I think having absolute times saved for a certain task is fundamentally
wrong anyway. If we want to make sense and move to formats that do (vcard,
DB-backend) we need to replace that concept by start-end tags. Then we
won't be messing with absolute times but with start-end pairs.

That's on my plate as soon as karm compiles again here. Btw - have you
commited yet? cvs diff -u doesn't show me any news.

If we move to the start-end tag concept, we can implement tags as a
separate runtime-only property of tasks.
