Hm, that's interesting. But I'm not talking about a way to access it
via elisp, I'm talking about a place to actually put it in say, the
property drawer. Say:
** Pick up bike from the shop
:PROPERTIES:
:OCCURANCE: <2011-04-12 Tue 19:00>
:END:
etc.
It's nice to know there's a meta-property for TIMESTAMP, but I'm
specifically looking for a nice place to put that timestamp away. This
is for cleanliness / easy get-set purposes.

That's useful, and would change this property even if I put it in such a
drawer... provided that property already existed. But what if I want to
insert something on a currently un-OCCURANCE'd (or whatever) thing? I
don't want it to go on the headline, that looks gross.

That's entirely dependent on if we can suggest a property for this
behavior. It doesn't have to be mandatory.
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 do appreciate your useful reply, though!
