Hi guys,

I've been using org-mode 7.9.3f for quite a bit time and for clocking
with unspecified timestamp I'd use the following construct:

 * Some task
   CLOCK: => 2:00

which was perfectly valid in this org-mode version. However, after
upgrading to 8.2.10, this isn't the case any more. As a matter of fact,
Emacs will throw this error when I try to export org file:

--->8---

  org-export-dispatch(nil)
  call-interactively(org-export-dispatch nil nil)
  command-execute(org-export-dispatch)

Looks like 'org-element-timestamp-parser' is always called while
exporting... Any idea how to return back old behavior (clock without
timestamp)?

Idea of clocks without timestamp is useful for me as for certain daily
tasks I'm mostly interested in total spent time, rather than precise
time. Beside, I also enters it manually after I forget to clock in,
which happens, well, often :)

Thanks!

Best regards,
Sanel

This syntax isn't valid. Actually it is rather unexpected that it was
producing something meaningful before.

CLOCK lines require at least a time-stamp.

Didn't know about this. Thanks!
