Now you have to decide what 'closest to date xxx' means. What if you
have two changes, one exactly twelve seconds before and one exactly
twelve seconds after the specified date? Do you stick with closest
before, closest after, before if there is one and after if not, or
what?
The correct answer is that "closest" always means "closest before". If I
want to see the depot as of a certain date that has to mean to show me all
of the changes in the depot UP TO AND INCLUDING that date, but certainly not
"right after" that date (even if it's only 12 seconds. :) )
Unless there aren't *any* before, in which it's the first one. Right?
I agree with your answer, but features like this have to be carefuly
thought out, coded, and then tested in a human factors lab to make sure
you're not *surprising* the majority of your customers. ;^)
