I propose the following rewording of the two bullets:
————————
•  A day is a calendar (or "local time") day in each timezone, including the
timezones outside of +12:00 through -11:59 inclusive:

2000-12-12+13:00 < 2000-12-12+11:00  (just as 2000-12-12+12:00 has always been
less than 2000-12-12+11:00, but in version 1.0  2000-12-12+13:00 >
2000-12-12+11:00 , since 2000-12-12+13:00 = 2000-12-12-11:00 because
2000-12-12+13:00's "recoverable timezone" was ?11:00)

•  Similarly:

2000-12-12+13:00 = 2000-12-11-11:00  (whereas under 1.0, as just stated, 
2000-12-12+13:00 = 2000-12-12?11:00)
————————
I hope that the explicit statement of the 1.0 inequality in the first bullet
will make the point of the second bullet more obvious.
