Yes.  This would be a good idea.   I think I do this already with 
camram.  I think you can set the stamp size in the configuration file at 
the user level.  I know the data is there, I just don't know if it's 
accessible at the user profile.

Any suggestions on how to implement this stamp value server?  Keep it 
simple, leverage what we have which is a web server and simple XML RPC 
standalone servers.
