Hi Stephen,
Sorry for the late reply, but I've just begun using "i d" to enter dates
into my org files and I have a few comments on the patch you submitted
in February.

When I enter the time of day after typing "i d", the time of day is
added to the timestamp (as above) but is *not* removed the headline.
E.g.,
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
"Day entry: 9:00am go shopping [RET]"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
...results in the following headline...
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* 9:00am go shopping
<2010-03-17 Wed 09:00>
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
As a consequence, the agenda line duplicates the time of day.
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
index: 9:00...... 9:00am go shopping
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I'd be curious to know whether others can duplicate this bug.

Might I request an independent variable for this? While I would like the
agenda to scan my headlines for time of day specifications (and thus
have org-agenda-search-headline-for-time set to t), I am not sure I want
org-agenda-add-entry-to-org-agenda-diary-file to alter the information I
enter at the "Day entry: " prompt.
Thanks,
Matt
