When you enter a new date property to an object then this date is converted
to an instance of DateTime (see PropertyManager and Converts module).
The DateTime constructor  assumes 00:00 when now time is given in the date
string. This is a common used semantics.

see above...
When you only want to handle with dates you should avoid using the
DateTime()
constructor for comparision issues because it uses the current time.
