Re: validThrough and validUntil

I strongly feel we should keep both.

The reasoning behind this is that the data could be inclusive or exclusive
of a Day if the Time component is not provided.  Governments and business
might use either form, and its useful to know if something will cease being
valid at the end of a day (validThrough) or at the beginning of a new day
or some end time (validUntil).  I deal with this kind of distinction daily
and I already have buckets for both forms in my workflows.  Knowing to send
a message at the beginning of a day or towards the end for Contract renewal
purposes.  Speaking of which, Contracts take both forms as well, and we
haven't put work into Contracts much yet, so even more reason to keep
both.  Insurance is another domain where processors are very picky with
clarity of something being validUntil (I've seen Insurance contracts
specify the validUntil using the last second in an hour for exactness).
