"Ad-hoc parsing" in this context means that, for example, a time value is stored exactly as the user has entered it, and only parsed when a machine-readable value is needed. All this would happen server-side.
There are no plans to implement something like this.
The behavior you are describing means the user can smash the return key very early, and will entirely miss the preview that is shown after the input was parsed and formatted. This is crucial in many cases, e.g. when the user types "01/02/2003" and expects this to become "January 1st", but it becomes "February 2nd".
All these considerations are the reason this got declined for now.
