Org used to have the ambition to parse a date in the middle of a text,
and this six what you are seeing in the documentation. However, over
time more and more different requests came in, to parse ISO weeks,
European dates and more. Also we want to allow incomplete dates like
leaving out a year etc. I still think Org does a pretty god job
there. However, to be reasonably predictable we did have o restrict
matching of special dates to the beginning of the string, and this is
what you and Nicolas are now seeing. If you want this to work
differently, you need to hack your own version of the analyze
function. For example, you can remove the ^ anchor from the regexp
matching dotted dates. And you can change the regexp to match two
digit years and not only four digit years. But you will then see that
it also parses numbers with decimals which happen to be in the chunk
of text.
