Where does og_read get this value?  It should hold the value of when the 
object created (i.e. when populated with database content).

Here's my Og version of the example

class Foo
   prop_accessor  :x, Integer
   prop_accessor  :y, Integer

   def initialize( x=nil, y=nil )
      @x = x || 0
      @y = y || 0
      @tstamp = Time.new
   end

   def create_date
      @tstamp
   end

end


What value would create_date return after og_read?
