Thanks for sharing this! Indeed the new (undocumented) syntax is  
needed in recent GNU Emacs 23.0.60.

I did not gave so much attention to diary the last years, but I  
started to investigate it a few days ago. Finally I seem to have  
found a bug ...

Having these two lines in ~/diary

	%%(diary-float t 1 1)   Apple Macintosh Computer-Arbeitskreis  
Frankfurter Hochschulen
        %%(diary-phases-of-moon 'svn-status-symlink-face)

m does *not* mark the days when the moon's phase changes. When I view  
diary with s, comment the first line, and save the file, these days  
now get marked. Un-commenting the first line and saving the diary  
file removes the marks.


What is your experience with fancy-diary-display or the *Fancy Diary  
Entries* buffer? It might be a decade ago when I last saw it.

BTW, did you notice that when you have set now European date format  
the date in the diary entries' pop-up also changes in its title?
