I think he means active timestamps with no keyword.  The Org FAQ and
manual refer to active timestamps with no keyword as "plain timestamps".

At least for me, in my early Org days, I wasn't sure of the best
formatting convention for "plain timestamps".  I settled on putting them
on the line directly after the header with the proper indentation, since
this is how SCHEDULED items were inserted.
