What I did wrong included, at least, that I characterized two groups and

Both fixed date and relative date locking are needed, let me chime in to
say, with reasons that may not have been considered so far. Relative (same
as number of days?) should be a mild locking, like just a notice that can
be over-ruled ("The transaction is more than 60 days in the past, are you
