cristian: hi martin! thanks. I had a look in the dictionary.xml at the
IMS-Information avp and its component avps definitions. specifically at
timestamps:

<avp name="SIP-Request-Timestamp" code="834" mandatory="must" may-encrypt="no" protected="mustnot" vendor-bit="mustnot" vendor-id="TGPP" >$
<type type-name="UTF8String"/>$
</avp>$
<avp name="SIP-Response-Timestamp" code="835" mandatory="must" may-encrypt="no" protected="mustnot" vendor-bit="mustnot" vendor-id="TGPP" >$
<type type-name="UTF8String"/>$
</avp>$

I think they are supposed to be of Time type. (type is def. in diameter 
base protocol). here are the relevant defs from 3gpp specs (32.299):

7.2.112	SIP-Request-Timestamp AVP
The SIP-Request-Timestamp AVP (AVP code 834) is of type Time and holds the time in UTC format of the SIP request (e.g. Invite, Update).
7.2.113	SIP-Response-Timestamp AVP
The SIP-Response-Timestamp AVP (AVP code 835) is of type Time and holds the time in UTC format of the response to the SIP request (e.g. 200 OK).

bye now!
