Add Task with additional information (e.g. due date)

Couldn't find an answer in the existing posts:
Using the web interface, how do I add a task with a due date (like adding an event in gcal). eg:
Tomorrow: do task
Do task tomorrow
Do task (tomorrow)
I'm sure there is a way to do this (it's a pretty basic function) and I can't figure it out. Thanks!

Hey Geoff,
This isn't currently possible via the web interface, sorry. :(
(We have this functionality in a couple of other interfaces, e.g. RTM for Gmail, and Twitter, but not in the web interface for now.)

Thanks, Emily!
Looking forward to seeing that functionality in the web interface sometime soon!

Gdudg - I love your idea and hope your suggestion has helped move this idea over the tipping point, but I remain jaded. here are other threads that have asked for the same idea…
The idea of parsing the text in the data entry field has been around since RTM was wet behind the ears, and I have watched the idea resurface over and over.

It will be interesting to see what Bob does next when he's done with the iPhone app.
