This might be wrong or at least misleading as it implies a temporal
order and an order of execution by mentioning a "first execution" of
current-dateTime(). Without the concept of an order of execution there
can be no first execution. Conceptually, everything happens at once.
The value of current-dateTime() is just a static property, initialized
at some point, independent of any actual invocations of any date/time
function - at least conceptually.
