I tried it - it turns out that org-agenda-todo-ignore-deadlines only 
effects the global todo list.

org-deadline-warning-days is for.

I was talking about `org-agenda-todo-ignore-deadlines' not
`org-deadline-warning-days'.

It would only apply to deadlines with a TODO keyword, tho.

The two variables you mention above fix almost everything for me - but
is there a "org-deadline-past-days" variable? Something that I could
set so that past due deadlines not be mentioned? Or may I suggest that
"org-agenda-todo-ignore-deadlines" have a value like "past", but one
that ignores deadlines that are in the past, but include those for
today.

Have you tried to set this variable to -1? According to the docstring,
it should do what you want. I didn't test it, tho.

This variable is not documented in the manual. It has no docstring

If you search for org-agenda-exact-dates, you will find that I'm not the 
only one who has used this variable, and not the only one who has 
noticed its absence in version 9.

was any thought given to how one
may recreate the action of this variable? That is, in orgmode
9.0.4, how can I create an agenda that only shows entries whose exact
timestamp, scheduled or deadline, is the given day? And that ignores
"Sched. nx" and "In m d." entries?

I assume binding both `org-deadline-warning-days' and
`org-scheduled-past-days' to 0 would be a start. Also, you could bind
`org-agenda-span' to `day'.

What I am trying to do is an agenda view in which only the tasks 
specifically for the given day - whether scheduled or deadline - appears.


Thanks,

This variable is not documented in the manual. It has no docstring

parameter.

If I had to make a guess about its use, I would say it is an internal
variable for the Timeline functionality, which is removed from master.
