Please don't go to wit's end on this! I'm a bit frustrated too, but I
really don't want to bring the frustration to the mailing list!

Yes, it seems that there is a contradiction. On one hand, by appending
the value of the created_iso8601 field to another field, I can ensure
that the value is legal and does exist! On the other hand, it seems
that there is no such value being stored in the index, but new
documents are being added that ostensibly should have that value.
I'll try adding a document with post.jar and see what happens. I'll
update the thread.
Thanks!
