By default, title, author, date and email lines appear in dark blue
with the initial keywords greyed out. The title is in a larger font
than the others. This is implemented by the following new faces:
org-document-title
org-document-info
org-document-info-keyword
In addition, the variable org-hidden-keywords can be used to make the
corresponding keywords disappear.

This support was totally broken. It works now again. Unfortunately
it is not possible to edit the table directly in the org-mode buffer
anymore - to edit such a table, you have to use C-c '
This patch implements reading American dates, like
2/5/3 --> 2003-02-05
2/5 --> ????-02-05
Is also fixes a bug that would force the current year when reading a
date like 2/5 (American) or 2-5 (ISO), and in this way would prevent
`org-read-date-prefer-future' to do its job. This bug was reported by
Lukasz Stelmach.
Move the marker for the last refile location to the heading instead of at the
end of the entry. This was causing C-u C-u C-c C-w to end up on the heading
following the newly refiled entry.
This can help to get out of an inconsistent state produce for example
by viewing from the agenda. Reported by Matt Lundin:
