Semantic problems with examples in DailyRollingFileAppender documentations

The use of Midnight seems to be consistently applied as if it represented the 
end of a day.  In fact, Midnight is the beginning of the day so that the 
Example for DatePattern  "'.'yyyy-MM-dd" (Rollover at midnight each day.) which 
currently says:

At midnight, on March 8th, 2002, /foo/bar.log will be copied 
to /foo/bar.log.2002-03-08. Logging for the 9th day of March will be output 
to /foo/bar.log until it is rolled over the next day.  

...is wrong.  And should be either:

At midnight, on March 8th, 2002, /foo/bar.log will be copied 
to /foo/bar.log.2002-03-07. Logging for the 8th day of March will be output 
to /foo/bar.log until it is rolled over the next day.  

Or:

At midnight, on March 9th, 2002, /foo/bar.log will be copied 
to /foo/bar.log.2002-03-08. Logging for the 9th day of March will be output 
to /foo/bar.log until it is rolled over the next day.  

depending on which midnight is meant.


There is also a typo in the example for the minutely DatePattern: '.'yyyy-MM-dd-
HH-mm

The existing text of the Example:
At approximately 11:23,000, on March 9th, 2001, /foo/bar.log will be copied 
to /foo/bar.log.2001-03-09-10-22. Logging for the minute of 11:23 (9th of 
March) will be output to /foo/bar.log until it is rolled over the next minute. 

Note that the HOUR is "-10-", but should be "-11-".  It would appear that the 
text from the Hourly DatePattern example was unsuccessfully converted.
