*And* some people want to put just a subset of entries on a public
 page.

The big problem with making these kinds of views is I think it
restricts the daily pages to have predefined formats.  If anything
free-form is added how does it get parsed and extracted.

However, making a remember-to-journal function that remembers to 1)
the daily page, 2) a plan page (optional) and 3) a journal page would
not be that hard an extension of the remember-planner functions that
are there now.

In that case there would need to be a way of specifying the hierarchy
on the pages.  Or in a lookup table somewhere.  Using Gary's method
the hierarchy is specified with subdirectories, which is kind of nice.
