In many parts of Europe it has turned over to the 6th. But that is not why the date change. It really is irrelevant what actual date is used, the date you are making the change on, or the following day. The book will be rendered sometime around 3:00am Mountain time in America. That would make it the 6th. So in the daytime, I use the actual date. At night, I use the following day. Bottom line is when everyone wakes up tomorrow the book will be rendered with a date of 11-6-2010. Does it matter if the change is annotated with a date of 11/5 instead of 11/6? Bruce will almost always use the following day's date on his updates (even if early in the morning) because he knows that those changes are not rendered and seen until the following day.
