May I suggest an improvement ?

strftime('%Y-%m-%d') will only give "today" as a date, which may make tests a 
bit too narrow. 
We might need to find some more flexible solution, like the PHP function 
"strtotime" that would take dates like "next Thursday" or "+16 days" and 
produce meaningful dates that are also relative to current one (and /not/ all 
the same).
As a dirty workaround, we might say strftime('%Y-01-01') but this may also be 
in the past (OK for invoices, not for scheduling deliveries etc.)

good parser, too)
