Keep in mind that all of this data has to flow to other tools (iCal, Mail, iPhone, Treo, .Mac) so making sure that the data works in those other applications is important.

Also, David Allen was being a bit sarcastic about the comment. Sure it would be nice to have it all databased, but another tenant of the GTD system is not to let the system get in the way of real work or getting things done. If with every task, I had to try and decide at what energy level it would require and how much time it might take, it would slow me down from actually getting things done. Besides, I can make those decisions when in the process of doing in the context. I look at my "@Calls" list quickly figure out which ones I want to do based on my energy and time. I am not sure a program is going to know more than what I can grok in a few seconds.
