Right.  Until R2 (R3?) the only way server time got updated was from
events; we changed that so that property notify events were more
reasonable, but it took quite a while to ensure that such updates didn't
accidentally make server time run backwards.

If you've got a request that needs to update current time, you can use 
UpdateCurrentTime before processing anything; events will get delivered 
and time will be reasonably current.

Do you have a reason to make current time reliably more accurate than the
beginning of the current request?
