An allocated task should show up in Upcoming (on the day of the next allocation I guess)

Fantastic response - thanks! That's fine - if that is as designed, but yes, it could do with showing up in upcoming - so that's a UI feature request. Additionally, note the last bit of my point 3. - when I set a task for "Tuesday afternoon", Search locates it as both a Task AND a Calendar entry (see real example). Is that by design?
