Migrated from http://code.google.com/p/rdflib/issues/detail?id=30 as it remains an issue.

# There seems to be a problem with the >= and <= operators.

# Similarly, if the first FILTER statement is modified thus:
FILTER (xsd:date(?date) >= xsd:date("2007-12-30") && xsd:date(?date) <= xsd:date("2008-01-11"))
# under version 2.4.0 it selects case 0

# if the second FILTER statement is modified thus:
FILTER (xsd:date(?start) >= xsd:date("2008-01-01") && xsd:date(?end) <= xsd:date("2008-01-11"))
# under version 2.4.0 it returns cases 1-5
