New Feature: Add Tags, start times, etc. to sub-tasks

To make this program fully GTD-compatible, it would be really helpful to be able to create start times, tags, etc. for sub-tasks.

There's been several instances where I have created a task under a project, then realize that task actually needs to become a "sub-project", that is there are many steps to that task, and it would be nice to be able to keep it associated with its original project.

Thanks!

The program is "fully GTD-compatible" without hierarchical tasks; the GTD model doesn't suggest that such a relationship actually needs to exist.

More importantly, if you assign start/due dates to Doit's subtasks (which are really treated more like a checklist than actual tasks by Doit) then you inherently include them in the time boxes with their parent tasks. It seems like this would be a disaster for the average user. It would be more appropriate to request that we be able to nest projects than to recommend adding date attributes to the existing subtasks.
