[OAI-implementers] Behavior when FROM and UNTIL are identical

Dear List,

I'm working on the oai 2.0 implementation for the Berkeley Electronic
Press (which is an archive, not a harvester).  I'd like to verify
something about the spec, if you have a moment to think about it.  If
we get a request for:

verb=ListRecords&from=2008-11-20&until=2008-11-20

We implicitly treat the "from" as the start of the day, and the "end"
as the end of the day. e.g.  2008-11-20 00:00:00 <= date <  2008-11-21
00:00:00.  Is this correct?

The relevant spec is at
