Personally I think the key point is that e.g. date:2012-12-10 should do something reasonable (presumably return all messages on that day, pax questions about timezone); whether we need new prefixes I'm less convinced. However, as far as I understand it, any solution to the "single date" problem would make the "syntactic sugar prefixes" rather easy. As a meta-point, I don't think we should spend too much time and effort debating TODO; it isn't like this is some contract about deliverables, or even a document that most of us look at much.
