IMHO current_timestamp is good. When your app. is working in local company
or some branches, you can select all todays invoices using
order_date=cast(current_timestamp as date). But you're right, that sometimes
the current_utc will be great.

Maybe in FB2.x or 3.0. ;) I'll try to ask on devel list.
