In terms of syntax, I think this should be consistent with how you apply
tags to lists of tasks, e.g.

TODO <2018-01-14:
[ ] Task 1
[ ] Task2

So flag the line as "special" with the TODO label and then followed by the
normal task attributes to be applied to the tasks in the list.

The parser already supports extracting such lines for tags, so extending
with dates should be straight forward.

Regards,

Jaap
