The name could be critical. To avoid any confusions/collisions I would
recommend to use just that name TIMESTAMP for easy get/set access:

* _appointment_ that _occurs_ at bike shop
  :PROPERTIES:
  :TIMESTAMP: <2011-04-12 Tue 19:00>
  :END:

I would like to have generally some special properties case by case
inside _or_ outside of the properties drawer, like e. g. CLOSED,
CATEGORY, TAG etc. See also the current discussion
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/40801/focus=40813
and the similar discussion linked there.

In this case of TIMESTAMP it would be allowed e. g.

* _appointment_ that _occurs_ at bike shop (keyword inside drawer)
  :PROPERTIES:
  :TIMESTAMP: <2011-04-12 Tue 19:00>
  :END:
* _appointment_ that _occurs_ at bike shop (keyword outside drawer)
  :TIMESTAMP: <2011-04-12 Tue 19:00>
* _appointment_ that _occurs_ at bike shop (keyword-less, at least for
backward compatibility)
  <2011-04-12 Tue 19:00>
