I see the problem, but I don't like these time formats at all. I'd prefer if the agenda would show me things that are scheduled "early" the next day (before 06:00, for example, should be configurable) on the previous day already (and on the actual day). Also, 26:00 is against the rules ;-) ,----[ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601 ] | hh refers to an hour between 00 and 24, where 24 is only used to | notate the midnight at the end of a calendar date `---- ,----[ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/24-hour_clock#Midnight_00:00_and_24:00 ] | Time-of-day notations beyond 24:00 (such as 24:01 or 25:59) are | neither commonly used nor covered by any relevant standards, | although they have been seen on rare occasions in Japan. `---- -- Christian Schlauer
