Because it's still day_n AOE in early hours of day_n+1 local-time in a
lot of places. I think I have until 6 AM the day after an AOE deadline
where it's still considered the deadline date anywhere on earth, as
there are still places on earth where the date hasn't flipped.

Your EOD is not the deadline, as it's really only a reference to how
many more hours you have until it's no longer that date anywhere on
earth. People screw themselves out of things by using their EOD as the
definition.

(we've been using this with the PyCon CFP since forever)
