However, startday et al. did exist even in 3.2.0b3, so they are still
in the 3.2.0b4 snapshots.  The difference between startday in 3.2.0b4
and 3.1.6 is that in the latter, the attributes are documented in
htdoc/attrs.html while in the former they're not.  Also, relative days
(i.e. negative numbers) aren't supported for these input parameters
in 3.2.0b4, only in 3.1.6.  The input parameters are documented in
htdoc/hts_form.html.
