Improved the regular expression to permit multiple tags of letters,
numbers, underscores, and at signs.
:  (defun org-datetree-find-year-create (year)
:    (let ((re "^\\*+[ \t]+\\([12][0-9][0-9][0-9]\\)[ \t]*\\(:[[:alnum:]_@]*\\)*:*[ \t]*$")
:          match)
I've tested with the following headlines:
 - 2013
   - both with and without trailing spaces
 - 2013 :abc:
 - 2013 :abc123:
 - 2013 :abc123:_underscore:@attaboy::
 - 2013 :noexport:

Any comments on the regular expression are welcome before I make patch.
