Ah, great, thanks!

I have been looking at the wrong node all the time.

However, the manual node you're pointing to disagrees with the claim that
those are equivalent:

>If you need both a repeater and a special warning period in a deadline
>entry, the repeater should come first and the warning period last
>     DEADLINE: <2005-10-01 Sat +1m -3d>

However, the manual may be incomplete.

Thank you, problem seems to be solved.
