Hi Michael,

I removed the part of `org-read-date' docstring about
`parse-time-weekdays' and `parse-time-months'.  You're right
that this can lead too errors.

Done.

Chances are that this will break Org too.

Done.

Actually, there is already `org-parse-time-string', which does not rely
on `parse-time-string' at all.  Org relies on `parse-time-string'
through `org-read-date', a core command of Org.  

Thanks,
