yokadi> t_done 104                                                                                            
Task 'Monthly status report' next occurrence is scheduled at 2009-10-05 
14:00:30   

There is a mismatch in the date formats being used in these two lines,
which makes things a bit confusing. I already got confused by the 09/07
which is probably due to my LANG=en_US.UTF-8, but the "scheduled at"
uses yet another date format (ISO). Can you make it use the same format 
everywhere? (I wouldn't mind ISO everywhere, but I can see how that can
confuse some people)

Maybe the date format should be configurable? Or maybe I should just set 
LC_TIME to something meaningful to myself; my attempts didn't work but I guess 
I need to install locales-fr first.

Bonus feature suggestion: the Recurrence line when showing a task details, 
could show the actual recurrence rule (e.g. "month, first monday") in addition 
to the type+next occurence, in case one forgot how it was defined. Useful when 
re-defining the recurrence in order to undo a wrong t_done like the one I did 
above ;)
