Thanks for fixing this.

Is this somehow possible with only one prompt:

- to be prompted for the date of the event or the date and time /
  time range of the appointment.
- the event/appointment to be recorded in a date tree under it's
  respective date, not under today.
- having a timestamp in the resulting heading
- to see the respective time (range) information in the agenda if
  there is any.

I managed to to this without the date tree but with one level one
heading for each entry.  That's a bit more like Emacs diary, but
I like the date tree because it's hides more information:

(org-capture-templates (quote ( ("d" "diary the Org way" entry (file "~/org/diary.org") "* %? %^T %^g"))))

Ciao, Gregor
