when you create an event through CalDAV, the start and end date are
parsed out. the same is not true for tasks.

in Cosmo and in Chandler Desktop, stamping an item gives you the
ability to set start and end dates on it. stamping it as a task
confers no additional attributes on it. to be frank, I don't really
see what the point is of stamping an item as a task in our tools,
other than seeing a checkbox for the item in list view.

I think the designers have a different concept of "task" than you or I.
