After thinking of it - I guess the best way would be to evaluate @var  
DateTime on a domain objects property and inject a DateTime object if it  
is wanted by the programmer. This way you can also have access to the bare  
timestamp if you use @var integer. I guess this would be the most  
convenient way to do it. But *I* don't know how to do this in extbase.
