An NSTimestamp represents a point in time, as has been stated. Making it behave differently is a bad idea.
I have a set of methods that determine today's date in GMT, and store things that are dates that way. I've never had a problem. I pull out the year, month, and day from a timestamp represented in the local timezone, then create a new timestamp with the same year, month, and day with GMT as the timezone. It's always worked for me...
