If I understand things correctly, Emacs Diary expressions simply return
t or nil to indicate whether an entry should be displayed for the
particular date. They do not return a string and, more to the point,
they do not take the time into account. In Emacs Diary, the time has to
be part of the text outside the sexp.
However, it would be nice if the agenda view could highlight the current
time, much as it is possible to highlight the current day in a week
view, for instance... so this could be a good "feature request"! I have
no idea how hard it would be to implement, mind you...
