Maybe you can start to manually store a :CREATED: property, consisting
of a simple inactive timestamp?

I can see a lot of useful things we could do with this:

1) regularily check for old tasks
2) regularily check for new tasks
3) use this to define "stuck" projects
4) use this to implement some kind of auto-archiving

But maybe seeing how old are all the tasks might be a bit depressing...
