It is very frustrating having two separate calendar systems. As a user, I
would expect:
- to be able to add "To Do" items to the main Calendar, from the main
Calendar
- to be able to add "To Do" items in a list format as it is.
- to have "To Do" items show on my calendar, but have nobody else see
them.
- Be able to see my meetings and my "To Do" items together (already
implied)
- The "Tasks" recurrence should support the same patterns as the Calendar.
Requirements:
1) Essentially, if a Task has an associated Date, it should be automatically
displayed on the Calendar in a distict way.
2) To be able to add tasks from the Calendar, and have them show up in the
Tasks list.

Why don't you just create an appointment item and mark it "all day"?
Accomplishes what you want.

Thanks for the suggestion.
Yes, it is not overly difficult to enter a calendar event with a reminder
and use this as Personal To Do task. In truth, this is what I always do,
which is indicative of a problem with the design of the "Tasks"/To Do
feature. Why should I need to Create a "Calendar Appointment", change it to
private, and change it to 'Show as free'? This was my whole point, I guess;
that I should not have to work around these features.

I think your suggestions have merit.
