        So ... you are saying that practical operators
        with experience, would limit the alerts to the
        specific day?

        Makes sense ... until ... What happens if a new
        person at the EM site makes a typo during an
        emergency and the initiator errs by exactly one month?

        The problem is that we can parse this into infinity.
        However, at the same time, some discussion from
        end-users as to handling would be a good idea.

        The fly-in-the-ointment is the number of automated stations
        and the difficulty in arranging for every possibility.
