Seriously, what the heck is 24:00?
See http://dotat.at/tmp/ISO_8601-2004_E.pdf section 4.2.3 "midnight"
The IS should clarify that a day is [0:0, 24:0), not [0:0, 24:0]
and everything should be fine.
Its definition of a calendar day is consistent with its definition of a
time interval. It doesn't make any distinction between including and
excluding the end instants. And I don't think it would be sensible to do
so: it would clutter the time interval notation with no clear benefit.
