I'm not convinced by this variable. Back-ends are usually so much
different that a global variable aiming at formatting a date timestamp
in any of them doesn't sound very useful.

Though it may be the job of back-ends to provide such a variable
variable, whenever it makes sense.

Another option would be to allow to specify an arbitrary timestamp as
a second, optional, argument to {{{time(...)}}} macro. One could then
use:

  #+DATE: {{{time(%Y-%m-%d,<2013-01-06 Sun>)}}}
