The answer is that you should not rely on bobobase_mod_time as the applic=
ation=20
modification date of your objects. You have uncovered a good reason why. =
Your=20
application should instead store and update the mod date on its own, like=
 the=20
CMF does.

You could argue (and I would generally agree) that there should be better=
=20
built-in support for this at the Zope level, but this is a trickier probl=
em=20
to solve in a general way then it first appears. Modification means diffe=
rent=20
things to different apps.
