I agree, not ALL tasks should utilize this type of notification. As well, this is why the current use of Growl doesn't work for those wanting this type of notification. Rather, I'd like to see a new, optional, field such as Due Time. Only if this is set would it create an iCal entry. By doing so, the true GTDers are happy and the people who need a subset of tasks to popup alarms are happy. Again, I think iCal should be the mechanism used alarms. In doing so it allows for notifications when I'm away from my computer.
