[Design] Stamping and Date/Time Parsing

[Mimi Yin]

Certainly for now it should be because Chandler can't support event  
items without having date/time information.

However, at any given moment, the likeilhood that you are actually  
trying to add a new event to your calendar for today is pretty low.  
Chandler should instead provide a way for users to mark items as  
things that need to be schedule on their calendar. We can do that by  
allowing people to add the calendar stamp to the item, while keeping  
the date/time fields blank...so think of it as:

"This is an item I need to schedule on my calendar...sort of like  
putting a doctor's office card in the front of your day planner to  
remind yourself that you have to schedule an appt."
