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'm partly trying to see if other people want this as much as I do. > Surely I'm not the only one who finds putting active timestamps on the > headline or scattered just anywhere in the entry kind of gross? 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=3D40813 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> Michael
