PersistentLocalDate seems to persist different things into the DB for 
the same LocalDate depending on what Joda's default time zone is set to, 
which seems wrong. I don't want to have to be sure it's set to the same 
thing when I'm reading the LocalDates back in, and I'm not sure even 
that's enough to survive the problem. Should the conversion to a Date 
via toDateMidnight or toDateTimeAtStartOfDay perhaps be done with 
respect to UTC or something instead of whatever the current default 
happens to be? Or is there some other LocalDate persister I should be 
using if I want my LocalDates to survive changes in the default time zone?

Or perhaps I'm just completely misunderstanding everything and some kind 
person can put me straight. (-: Perhaps I have a broken JDBC layer or 
something.

By the way, 
http://joda-time.sourceforge.net/contrib/hibernate/userguide.html 
suggests it persists LocalDates with TIMESTAMPs but it actually seems to 
be using DATEs. I don't know if that means I'm doing something wrong or 
if the documentation is incorrect. (I'm using PostgreSQL if that's 
relevant.)
