I guess I worded my answer badly. I am working around this by including both time and date in an inactive time stamp (%U) but making sure that, if I subsequently schedule the item, I specify a time explicitly in the active time stamp. This seems to override the time in the inactive time stamp. Although not ideal for those tasks that need not be scheduled for a specific time, it works. When specifying a scheduled time really doesn't make much sense, I simply put either 8:00, so that they appear first in my day schedule, or 19:00 which makes them appear last, giving me a simple priority view of the tasks. For overdue tasks, the time in either the active or inactive time stamps is ignored, appearing simply as Sched. Nx. So, my solution is to avoid the problem, being inherently lazy... If anybody else has a better solution, please do let me know!
