I just tried %^T and it did not work -- a time-of-day was included in
all cases. What *did* work however is the lowercase %^t version. With
that in my org-capture template, just the date is inserted, except when
an explicit time-of-day is entered at the minibuffer prompt. Then that
time is added after the date. This makes picking dates & times with
org-capture a breeze.

Thanks for clueing me in!

John
