Today you sent me mail regarding Re: proposal for getting at <last></last>...:

it can print the current time:

<RRD::TIMESTR 'some-strftime-format' now>


or the time from 3 days ago ...
<RRD::TIMESTR 'some-strftime-format' now-3d>

the point is that it allows you to print something like the --end argument
you have defined for the graph ...
