 Description   

Please make sure to clarify in the docs that developers should not be using the 'timestamp' element in their applications.

Perl's docs are as follows and I think sends the right message:

Perl: "This is an internal type used for replication. It is not for storing dates, times, or timestamps in the traditional sense. Unless you are looking to mess with MongoDB's replication internals, the class you are probably looking for is DateTime. See <MongoDB::DataTypes> for more information." [Clear]
