Hi!
Let me give a bit of feedback on the aspect of "I'm implementing GTD".
I do it a bit differently:
* Projects are trees (or sub-trees) which have a :Project: Tag
attached to them. They never have a TODO keyword of any kind.
* Waiting-For items are tracked with a :WAITING: Tag. They never have
a TODO keyword of any kind.
* Only next actions get a todo keyword of TODO (or maybe DOING if
they are work in progress)
* Every tag is a potential context for me. The nice thing is that org
let's me combine them, e.g. :Bob:Phone:
* I use org's priority cookies exclusively as importance, ranging
from A - C.
That way I can see a list of next actions immediately by typing C-a a
t, ordered by importance. With your system I fail to see how you can
get quick access to your next action list.
I also get a project list by typing C-a a p (tag match, with
tag-inheritance turned off), also ordered by priority.
Even though I keep todos, projects and reference material in one file
together, org-mode allows me to quickly filter by TODO (== Next Action
List) :Project: (== Project List) and any other Tag (== Context).
I also use active timestamps to designate tickler dates and :SCHEDULE:
and :DEADLINE: cookies for the "hard landscape" of the day.

Sorry for not helping with your particular problem (It looks like you
might want to use C-1 C-c C-c or something like that), but:
It sounds like you're mixing up collecting and processing. You only
need to fill out the full context in the processing phase. At least I
use the remember interface for quickly jotting down a note, then get
back to work. The stuff I "remember" just goes into a Collect.org
file, which I later process as an inbox.
