I just looked at calendar.el and diary.el, and indeed, there are some places there that time entries are parsed, and changes should be made there too. I think there's onle one or two places in each file that we need to replace : by "\\(?::\\|\\.\\)", so I am still interested in making the change. (I am no longer thinking of the customizable "appt-time-separator". )... we could just replace . by \\|( . \\| : \\) whenver time is parsed. Please let me know what you think of it. If you think it is worth making the change, I will do it, else not. I do think it is worth it since I (others?) miss appointments (I did try to get myself used to aa:bb, but still accidentally fill out time as aa.bb) and I still find hand-editing diary the easiest way to do it. If you don't think it is worth it, I guess I will write a private function that searches the diary for timestrings a.bb and prompts replacing them, and add that function to my file-save-hook or such.
