I submit the following proposal, titled "As late as possible" (AI=2):

==========

Amend Rule 1023 (Common Definitions) by replacing this text:

      (a) The phrase "as soon as possible" means "within seven days".

with:

      (a) The phrase "as soon as possible" means "within seven days",
          and the phrase "as late as possible" means "within the seven
          days preceding".

I like the idea, but this highlights an abuse of the language that has
long been overlooked.  I suggest "in a timely fashion before" and "in a
timely fashion against".

Also, how should this interact with the Dec08/Jan09 holiday?
