I have tried to use the start date to keep the due date only for "the earth is going to be destroyed if I do not finish this action", but it really messed up everything. Working with start dates, I have to give a start date to every action, otherwise, actions with no start date appear in the "Start any time" tab on top of the list. Confusing and time consuming.
I usually work with due dates ("It would be good if this action is finish by this date"), but it is true I can miss a "real" due date ("and the earth is going to be destroyed"). I am using flags to single out due dates that are Deadlines, but I would like to have a tick box in the inspector, close to the due date, to tick those due dates that are Deadlines.
The system depicted here (http://www.gyronix.com/grm/SettingStartAndDueDates.html) (combination of Star Date/Due Date/Deadline) fits perfectly in my scheme.
