Right, except that bobobase_modification_time (god, I hate that
name) is updated anytime there is any change to the object in
the ZODB, which happens also when you import a backup, or run zsyncer...
leading to lots of possibility for "modified-but-not-really-modified"
times.  You can either live with that, or keep track of more
detailed time information.

One solution is used by CMF: DublinCore metadata.
That includes creation date, last modification date (not affected
when you edit other metadata), Effective date and Expiration date
(both used for publishing).

I hope this rich time info will be available throughout zope
in Zope3...
