They are a way to access the first normal and inactive time stamps in
an entry - but they cannot be used to set the timestamp when it does
not already exist.

Hmm, I remember that James TD Smith implemented at some point. Take a
look at the @min and @max operators for column view, maybe there is
something you can use (I don't know myself, because I have never used
these).

If the birthday is the *first* non-keyword time stamp, the TIMESTAMP
property should access it.
