I'm not sure. I would have expected that my configured values of org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled and org-agenda-tags-todo-honor-ignore-options would apply for all a1-4, so whatever I configure those to the result of a1-4 should be consistent. It looks like `tags-todo` takes my configured values into account, but `tags` does not. >>> b1 and b3 are empty, which I think is expected given the tags-todo type. >> >> Well, I disagree :-) >> >> This behaviour of `tags-todo` seems inconsistent to me.

I'm going to try to come up with some tests for the behaviour, and with the help of your references see if I can get those tests to pass. Stig
