Bug Description
As a feature request that might be for future version, it could be interesting to implement some new tags, one storing the estimated time to work on a task, and another one to have the time that has already spend on.
This should help to see what task can be done quickly when you just want to work for some minutes, or the total amount of time a task need for all its subtasks to be done for example.
What's your opinion?

It would be relatively easy to add a tag for estimated time required. PyGTD had this feature, and I found myself spending time to fill in the data and then never, ever using it. However, with some other features (sort/filter tasks by length, maybe?), it might be a little more useful.
Tracking time spent is much harder. I see a couple options:
- You could manually calculate it and attach it somehow.
- Functions could be added to start/stop a task, list "running" tasks, record total time, and so on.
In either case, you might be better off just using gnotime.
For invoicing, I've found it easier to just "punch in", keep a short log of what I'm doing, then "punch out".
So, to summarize, I guess that's a definite "maybe"...
