One problem - weeklly-view.el doesn't like this separation of start/end
time. So it discards the end time and I get appointments that last for one hour
(the default), always. Also, the tect get's too big, as I get an appointment
named "| 11:00 | PPADNI (T) FA3) (LeicIst)"... not good!
And I like to see a nice weekly schedule, once and awhile :)

This is much better! I like this better than Olson's approach to redefine
`planner-diary-insert-diary', this is much less development disruptive! I
haven't made defadvices into my mindframe yet, but I can see their potential :)

The only thing I can see it's missing here is the ability to make the list have
a class="" attribute. But this is generic to emacs-wiki, not just planner
itself. I had to change tasks and notes generation to include these attributes,
but every normal emacs-wiki section/text/list/whatever doesn't have a mean to
provide such a customization level. Am I right?
