The particular case of using <tstamp> to time builds is probably better handled by a listener. Extending, say, the XML logger to put a timestamp against each message would be fairly easy.
Even using <tstamp>, you could still achieve the same effect with immutable properties simply by using a different property each time.
Either of these solutions will work, but only by adding unnecessary complexity for the user. And why? Because you are trying to keep your conceptual view of what a "Property" is as straightforward as possible in the design.
A design should be as simple as possible, but no simpler. When the tradeoff is between elegance of design and ease of use for the user, I'm thinking you are going for too simple.
