Hi Stefan,
The shapefile specification is very succinct about the use of dbf files, and when you search for dbf specification, you don't find one specification but many : dBase II, III, IV, V, FoxPro, XBase... According to some documents, it is possible to store timestamp in a dbf (http://www.clicketyclick.dk/databases/xbase/format/data_types.html) But before we make use of another type (we actually use Date) we must make sure that these types are read by other softwares (arcgis, mapinfo, qgis...).
