There is massive potential for confusion when ambiguity is introduced
if users are allowed to drop 'am'. Thus, if the following line was
entered:
REM 10 Apr 2008 AT 12:00 MSG ...
no-one would have any idea whether you were referring to
2008-04-10T00:00, 2008-04-10T12:00 or 2008-04-11T00:00 (especially
when some people erroneously believe that 12:00am means midday).
Regards,
Andrew
