Jenn,
I have a hazy recollection of reading or being told that you should use
type="inclusive" for single dates. If there is only one date, it's
inclusive, right? I think that was the logic, although you could argue
that inclusive implies a range.
I'm sending this offlist, as it is based solely on a vague recollection. I
looked at the tag library but I didn't see anything that addressed this
change. If it really vexes you, I'd email Michael Fox or Kris Keisling
directly and ask one of them.
