RMS asked me to look after calendar-related matters, so I should probably comment on this. The idea (allowing times of the format "11.00" as well as "11:00") is fine, but in practice it's more complicated than your patch. For example, taking a quick look at diary-lib.el, I see many places where a ":" separator is assumed (the syntax table for the diary buffer, etc). So if you want to make this change consistent for the calendar/diary you will have to deal with all of those places. The ":" format may very well be assumed in other files in lisp/calendar AFAIK. You may find making this change is more trouble than it's worth to you. :(
