I'm more focused on what we will be able to do.

In org-element.el.

We can allow a limited set of conses of format strings (with or without
days), possibly defined in the same defcustom (see
`org-table-number-regexp' customize interface). If we know the format
string used, we can parse it back.

There are features more honoured in the breach than in the observance.
I want to have a parseable Org syntax, for its own good.
