I understand the value of having that as a human-readable parameter
since it will be human entered. That I wouldn't want changed. However,
as it is implemented now, it breaks any DBR links in the date-offsetted
DBR freesite. It also seems to ignore any extra parameters that you want
to put on (like ?htl= for instance ... so you can't retrieve a date
shifted DBR if it is outside your default htl range). This certainly
isn't a show-stopper bug but I thought that I would point it out anyways
just in case there was a simple solution. The only one that I saw that
didn't entail large amounts of inline html rewriting was sending a
redirect to the browser to go to the absolute hex DBR address. However,
that brings into question what happens when someone hits the
"Yesterday's Edition" link in "Yesterday's Edition" of a freesite.
