Keeping this theme, then ("through" means "including" here):

    (:if date 200501-200503 :)      display from 2005.01.01 through 2005.03.31

    (:if date 20051006-2006 :)      display from 2005.10.06 through 2006.12.31
    (:if date 20051006-200601 :)    display from 2006.10.06 through 2006.01.31
    (:if date 20051006-20060101 :)  display from 2006.10.06 through 2006.01.01
    (:if date 20051006-2005 :)      display from 2005.10.06 through 2005.12.31
