My take is that Robin wants a view that shows only actions which have their own explicit start date set. The only reason I could come up with for wanting such a view is to check for potential "progress gaps" in a project, or more specifically to find out what the next thing is that you're waiting to do after you've exhausted the supply of things that can be done at any time.
With Robin's proposed view, one could spot the actions such as "Some task ..." which are going to be unavailable until some future date once the stuff that can be done now is all done. Sort of a ersatz critical path diagram? Maybe Robin will help us out instead of letting us twist in the wind :-)
