The spec-prod action may need a couple of minutes between the time it computes the publication date, generates the spec for publication, and the time it submits it to Echidna. In the meantime, a day may end, and a whole new day may start. Unfortunately, the automation spells break at the stroke of midnight, because "The publication date of this document must be set to today (UTC)".
Not a major issue for sure but I'm wondering whether we could relax the rule slightly to allow publications with yesterday's date within, say, 10mn of midnight UTC.
