What differences (other than the obvious display difference) are there
between the ordinary tasks and tasks flagged as milestones?

In particular, is there a difference in teh way project resource levelling
and schduling for them?

Hi,

Simply put, no. They are handled as any other task.
But when they have a zero duration, hence no work, they won't be leveled of
course.

And adding to Jan's comment, since milestones have no duration and thus no
work, they shouldn't have resources assigned to them either, thus "leveling"
a milestone to resolve resource overallocations makes no sense. A
milestone's location in the schedule is solely and completely determined by
the scheduling of its predecessor tasks.
