I totally agree ; remember my sentense just before your extract :
" the less restrictive is a tool, the more useful it is... *and the more 
complex is the algorithm*."
and spliting tasks (for example) was to my mind an absolute necessity 
for schedulling taking _ressources_ in account.

ok for 'big ideas'.
concerning requirements and precise specifications, instead, I thought 
it could help implementation as well as motivation.

that's done !
and that's precisely why I suggested another way of work.

in conclusion, I fear that those who hope Planner can become the 
accurate tool they need, there are two options :
 - discussion list ; a waste of time
 - waiting for developpers to find time and motivation...
