fn:current-date() as xs:date
  Returns xs:date(fn:current-dateTime()). This is an
  xs:date (with timezone) that is current at some time
  during the evaluation of a query or transformation in which
  fn:current-date() is executed. This function is *stable*.
  The precise instant during the query or transformation represented
  by the value of fn:current-date() is
  *implementation dependent*.
fn:current-date() returns an xs:date
  corresponding to the current date and time.  For example, an
  invocation of fn:current-date() might return
  2004-05-12+01:00.
fn:current-date() => 2006-05-25-07:00
