Indeed. I understand that, but the question was about '>' not '<'. The
initial agenda buffer has

    < Buffer, subtree/region restriction
    > Remove restriction

If I remove the restriction with >, as suggested by the initial buffer,
I get the date prompt. I have to enter either '<' again or '|' to clear
the restrictions. This information is given only in org-mode info not in
the initial agenda buffer.
