Sure.  

I consider tasks unscheduled things that need doing (perhaps with a
deadline), and diary items as things that I must attend at such and
such a time.  This corresponds to GTD "calendar" versus "action
items".  Therefore, I consider the distinction between *Diary* and
*Tasks* very useful.

It will be interesting to see what you come up with.  Some thinking
took place about how to edit the *Diary* section so that it would
snarf back into ~/diary.  However, it seemed hard.

I think at some point Sacha has some (python?) code that read a
"Schedule" section and put the results into a diary file.  You could
maybe check that out and start from there?  Maybe someone else
remembers it better than I do.

Cheers,  Jody
