[Design] Stamping and Date/Time Parsing

[Mimi Yin]

I have updated the Stamping spec thusly:
http://svn.osafoundation.org/docs/trunk/docs/specs/rel0_7/ 
Stamping-0.7.html

Stamping to add items to the Calendar and automatic date/time parsing

Chandler will attempt to parse date/time information in Title and  
Notes field of an item in the following situations:

    1. When stamping any item to add it to the Calendar, this  
includes Notes, Messages, Tasks and Task Requests (Message/Tasks)
    2. When pulling down items that have been added to the special  
Chandler Events IMAP folder

If date/time information cannot be successfully parsed, the item  
should remain an event with no specific date/time information, this  
assumes that we are able to support event items without date/time  
metadata.

==

It seems like there's quite a bit of work left to be done to make  
this feature usable. Are we expecting to have solved these issues by  
Preview?
