New description:

 Make the_date() always echo the date, in preference the the historic
 behavior of only echo'ing once per "day"


 ----


 Otto's recommendations.

 a) fix is_new_day() to actually work.
 b) change the_date and such to always display the date.

 With that patch, somebody could do this for the "only on new days" logic:

 if (is_new_day()) the_date();

 Anybody who actually needed that new day functionality (rare) could then
 fix their theme up quite simply with only a minor adjustment.
