I can see that this might be practical, but also that it could be  
confusing.
I am not sure if this is possible.  We would need a very careful  
definition
under what circumstances you'd like this definition to take charge.

For example:

- when turning on the agenda, between midnight and 6am, the startup date
   could still be the previous day.
- when using "." in the agenda, we could go to the previous day.
- scheduling is much harder.
   - if you just hit RET, it could be yesterday for times before 6am  
or so
   - if you enter a relative date it still sort-of works.
   - if you also enter a time, the trouble definitely starts.

Maybe you could try to write down a careful specification so that we
could discuss that here?

- Carsten
