This is clearly something related to my own preferred method of time
and task management rather than something I would expect anyone to
agree with.
Having said that the remember interface is, I think, about allowing
you to make a note very quickly whilst concentrating on some other
task. In this case what I would like to do is automatically capture
the TODO item with a deadline of today (the day I make the note).
This forces the item immediately onto my agenda and then becomes
something I should deal with. By this I mean I have to deal with the
note today, *not* its implied content. At some point in the day I put
aside time to go through these "remembered notes" and sort them out:
quickly return a call, pass on the action elsewhere, re-schedule to a
realistic date, copy off to another org file that is dealing with the
issue, re-consider or re-draft a more appropriate action etc....

All potentially sound good to me.

This similar to what I currently do using a home brewed mixture of
standard Emacs bookmark functionality and escreen (to stop messing up
whatever window configuration I happen to have running). Not pretty
though. Would personally prefer something along the lines of 1.
