Basically, I think an amazing feature would be to be able to get the time and date through the battle.net servers through triggers. This would allow an huge amount of new features be added to our custom mods and maps.
-Daily bonuses for play
-Daily/weekly missions
-Greater illusion of persistant in-game world.
-Real time-of-day/week/month/year effects
-Game progression while away from computer
-More gameplay stat tracking
-and more!
I know personally I would love to see this ability in the editor.
Could use some help from people other than myself bumping and keeping this idea alive on the SC Battlenet forum: http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/3229373010?page=1

@Aenigma: Go
You can accomplish most of this by simply updating your map frequently and using banks. Just sayin...

That ideas been around sense last blizzcon.
@Aenigma:
110% support that, posted and liked on the forum.
Yeah. I have a trigger what I enable for April 1st. It would be a cool to be able to automatize map's in-game events like Christmas.
You can do 'some' of those things by patching frequently... Like the weekly/monthly stuff. But you can't do the rest.
