We actually tried that and it seems like that timestamp doesn't exist.  If
we try

$time = &EXT("user.resource.resource.1:timestamp");

The variable is always undefined (missing in the scriptvars), even after
we had submitted something.  We thought it might be because the timestamp
is an array, so we also tried

@time = &EXT("user.resource.resource.1:timestamp");

The array was always empty.  Then we thought that timestamps might not be
stored in the construction space, so we published the resource and tried
it in a class, but still no go.  What do think might be wrong?  Thanks!
