That's not much different than what I tried before posting the original e-mail.

I would like to be able to control the format of the date that is
inserted.  Furthermore, I would like to be able to specify a hierarchy
that the entry should exist in and create it if it does not.
Using the org-mode snippet above, I would like "** Dec" to be created
if it does not exist and so on up the hierarchy.

Does that clarify what I am looking for?
