I agree, it's invaluable.

I didn't realise this. That is quite a serious problem.
I think some of the difficulty is that very few people seem to want
to use week numbers at all, as they are not in common use anywhere.
A calendar date is really the key datum.

I shudder to think of what non-reusability a DB version will impose.
The XML data format is just fine...I hope a DB version will not drop 
this, or will at least provide an Export XML option.

One thing I haven't managed to use is the Project Phase. I'd like to 
divide an existing project into phases, but I can't see how to tell 
Planner to do that.
