For me this is about the date/time prompt when capturing.  I had
a look at org-time-stamp and had the impression that the actual
parsing of the users input is done in org-read-date.  But
obviously my basic elisp knowledge isn't up to such complex
functions.  

Back to square one: Does anybody know How to customise
Emacs/org-mode so that dotted European dates are parsed correctly
at the date/time prompt?

Ciao, Gregor
