By definition, scheduled items do not appear on the agenda until the day on which they are scheduled. As I understand it, this patch is primarily for weekly agendas---i.e., to prevent items scheduled on Friday from appearing under the Friday slot until it is indeed Friday. In that case, why not use the daily agenda instead of the weekly agenda? Would it perhaps be better to write a personal skip function that handles this instead of hard-coding another test in org-agenda.el?
