This way we could flag all that *have* to be done today by flagging, transfer that to calendar (which is in full accordance with GTD), and work the rest out of next actions list.
What do you say?

I say that OmniFocus doesn't sync appointments at all, and that what it does sync it syncs as To Do entries, which makes it a bit awkward to use for planning your day. Also, your suggestion of how the flag is to be used is only one possible use. As I recall, one of the primary motivations of the sync to iCal feature was to make OmniFocus data available to mobile devices prior to the advent of iPhone syncing -- you remember those old coal-fired cell phones and PDAs, don't you? :-)
Given that the actions synced won't show up as blocks of time on your calendar, how would what you propose actually help you? Send your feature request to
omnifocus@omnigroup.com, or use Help->Send Feedback. Those two mechanisms are the only guaranteed ways to have the Omni developers see your request and consider it.
