One common use would be to store the creation & last-modification dates 
of each entry.  I've tried various ways of doing it and they all were 
too obtrusive to use on _every_ entry.   Time-stamping of all entries
would be extremely useful, just as time-stamping of files is.
But I don't want to see the timestamps during normal Org usage.
