It's better to put timestamps outside of the heading.

The description of the link is right, the link isn't, because Org
removes the timestamp.

Two simple workarounds: either load the org-id module, which takes care
of creating unique targets for internal links - or don't put timestamps
at the beginning of the heading.

If you see a place in the documentation where we need to be more acurate
please tell us!
