The reason for this behavior is that I wanted to support things like

* TODO Meeting at 2pm
   <2009-01-01 Thu>

i.e. loose time information that may be in the header.

The regular expression looking for a time also matches the
time you had in the time stamp.

I think the right approach is to not put the time stamp into the
header line at all.  Why would you want the *creation* time in such
an exposed place????
