I've described this before myself - it's exactly what I want. There's the ideal of GTD.... and then there's how things actually work for me.
How things actually work for me, is I check MLO when I get a free moment with space to think, view the main tasks I want to do next, and then put them my calendar to force me to do it at that time. Urgent/important tasks, I also put in my calendar, so I definitely don't miss them. Surely the role of a GTD tool is to drive you do Do them. If that includes reading your next tasks and durations, and actually pushing them into your calendar for you, then that is still it's primary role? After all - you WILL be spending the same time that's in your calendar doing those tasks. Functionally, I would want a parallel calendar where I can mark the times that are good for MLO tasks (which would be most times). MLO would check that for greenlit times, then check my outlook calendar to avoid clashes with scheduled appointments, and then drop my next tasks into the calendar on a "next where the context and duration fits" basis. Not too hard! A refresh would re-populate this occasionally based on new tasks. If anything, it would bring home the shocking reality of how I will never get round to task #683, because MLO tell me I can fit it in sometime in April 2016. The iPhone is well suited to this, as it can give a parallel calendar to a specific app and let that app fill it up - then display both main and GTD calendars in one view. I actually thought this is how MLO iPhone will implement reminders. But I've said that before, too.
