No it is not forbidden, but as it seems you know, this conversion it is not
in the standard, and we prefer to implement exactly the standard at least
until we have a full implementation of it.

Anyway, it don't seem too much work to use setTimestamp(new Timestamp(long)) or
getTimestamp(...).getTime().

If I'm not wrong I remember we discover some time ago that this is not a
good idea, since the value you get can be different from what you put
depending on your local time and the java version.
