So, what is the purpose of the datatree_updated field in the driver?  
Using it for the upload date seems to be a little bit of a kludge, 
especially if that field ever needs to be used for it's intended purpose 
(whatever it may be).  Isn't that field used to note whenever a change 
is made to the particulat datatree object (like changing the order or 
some other element)?  If so, then it's not a reliable upload date.  Is 
there a datatree_created field or something similar?  Would that make 
more sense to be of a little more universal use outside of Ansel?
