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,
