No, it's just trying to provide a time indication that people will easily interpret correctly. Trying out the correct notation (using 00:00 and the following date) on people during informal testing, I found that people were much more prone to interpret that as the deadline being 24 hours later than was intended. I can of course make it 23:59 to be both correct and easily read, if the powers-that-be will permit a one-second shift in actual deadline time. Best regards, Henrik
