It's more like "don't show me items that are not yet do". Not
everything recurs weekly, rather some are monthly and others at
different intervals.

Filtering would make the 'done' items invisible: not what I want but
it would be acceptable.

In my opinion, a recurring item is 'done' until the recursion period
resets. It then becomes undone. If I need to check my postal mail once
a week, then on Sunday I expect the "Check Post" item to be unchecked.
When I finally get around to it on Thursday and mark the item 'done' I
expect it to stay done. Until next Sunday.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
