It would be even nicer if all sub-todos always had at least the same categories as their parents. For example, if I create a 'Foo Project' To-do, and categorize it as "Business, Client Projects," then create a sub-todo 'Implement bar widget,' the sub-todo should have "Business, Client Projects" as it's categories. If I then add another categorization, "Features," to the sub, and remove "Business" from the parent, the sub should have "Client Projects, Features" as it's categories. IOW, every sub-todo always has it's parent's categories, but can be further categorized if desired.
I second that, furthermore, due date/time, attendees & access should also be inherited (if only for a starting point, it'd be very helpful
