> Before = 0, after = 0 does not mean +/-0. Who said that? Obviously the first time a person reads the data model, the person will interpret it in the context of previous experience. The terms "before" and "after" are not normally used to express uncertainty; the usual terminology is ±. Naturally people used to seeing ± will apply that line of thinking to "before" and "after" and decide that before = after = 0 means the time is exact. When inventing new terminology the description must rule out any plausible misinterpretation. This is often accomplished by giving a fully explained example.
