How about calling it planner-upcoming-appts? or planner-appt-upcoming?
Or planner-appt-forthcoming? [I like that last one!]

I hope you don't mind, but I got carried away last night fiddling with
the code you posted: just use whatever you think may be useful from
it.

I added scanning for tasks in schedules; scanning for tasks in
the cyclic diary file; sorting the entries; a slightly different
format for the appointments section; a day page section re-writing
function [implemented as an interactive "update" command], and a
display buffer thing.

I don't think there is a straightforward way of doing this at the
moment. But it would be easy to add a hook to planner-appt-update that
gets run after all the appointment updating has happened.
