I suspect it is historical but I don't think it should return a  
boolean because that would have even weirder side-effects. If it  
returns a __FLOOR_DATE then you can easily write your own comparison  
to create a boolean.

<p tal:condition="python: context.effective() > DateTime(1970, 0) and  
context.effective < context.modified()">has an effective date and was  
modified afterwards</p>
