Let me chime in here: I agree that the new behavior (i.e., following a
link with return) is unworkable with the current definition of
org-at-timestamp-p. 

My concern in the previous thread was to preserved what I viewed as a
convenience that dated back to the earliest days of org: i.e., being
able to change timestamps quickly with the S-arrow keys. I would still
prefer to retain a "wide" definition of timestamps for the S-arrow keys.

But if a little traditional usability is lost for the sake of
consistency, then we should change org-at-timestamp-p. (And Nicolas has
done heroic work in bringing consistency to the definition of various
org elements!)

Best,
Matt
