Thx!

I don`t consider that time-stamp meaningless. At least for humans :-)
Using the context you know it´t 0:00 the next day.

I doubt it were better to split a time intervall at midnight into a
regular time span, say

<2015-09-21 Mo 23:00-23:55> => (+ 5min)
<2015-09-21 Mo 23:05>--<2015-09-22 Di 00:00>

Not worth the trouble I´d say. The time span given in an intervall
HH:MM-HH:MM always is < 24h and endtime > startime, so even a program could
interpret it correctly.

As always, thx for fixing so fast!
