Re: collection.getCollectionMeta().getLastModifiedTime()

Well, my guess is that last modified time for collection works similarly to file system directory -- it gets updated whenever an entry added or deleted, but modifying existing file does not change directory last modified time. 

Interestingly enough, right now this behavior is inconsistent -- core.Collection has updateDocument() method that changes collection's last modified time.

Can you use custom meta data for collection to track the changes?
