I meant active timestamps. I'll give you an example of a dilemma.


* Timestamp in headline <2011-08-06 Sat>
  For long headlines, this becomes really ugly.

* Timestamp below headline
  <2011-08-06 Sat>

  Problem with this is, I can't use fill paragraph otherwise it gets
  wrapped with the timestamp. The solution is to have a blank line in
  between.


As you see, my reasons are mostly about personal preference and
aesthetics.
