The problem is -- when I have a Single-Action list of tasks (like miscellaneous personal items -- picking up dry cleaning, etc.), I can't get the start dates for individual items to matter.
If I give each task a start date, but don't give one to the list itself -- none of the items appear in my "today" perspective.
If I give each task a start date and give the list itself one -- the start date for the list trumps the ones for each task, making the entire list available at one time.
Isn't there a way I can give each task its own start date and then keep the rest of the list hidden?
(This same problem applies with projects, as well. Either every task in the project shows as available, or none do.)

You'll have better results if you do this showing contexts, not projects, because what you are really after is individual actions. In a context view showing Available actions, your single action list will show only those actions which have passed their start date (or have none).
