 2. a relative expression will be interpreted as appropriate given its order -- the second expression
 describes a time after the first
 3. if neither expression is fully-specified, the first will be interpreted relative to "now" and the

+second relative to the first
 
 The rules of interpretation for relative time expressions in ranges will likely be refined further
 in the future.
