I've been using the {(time)} markup, now changed to {(ftime)} by Pm.
But can no longer get it to produce a pure timestamp.  Wish that had
been the default.  I thought Pm said somewhere {(ftime %s)} would
produce a timestamp, but didn't really test it out--only after several
hours debugging code did I finally discover where the problem was.
Still, would prefer to not have to do a separate markup.
