 Opening this endpoint:

 http://demo.wp-api.org/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?before=2016-11-29

 Tells me that `The date you provided is invalid.`. However, I _am_
 providing a [ISO 8601 compliant](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601)
 date, as [according to](https://cl.ly/3p2G3D3f2e1T) the
 [documentation](http://v2.wp-api.org/reference/posts/).

 It looks like providing a full date (with time), makes the endpoint work
 as expected:

 http://demo.wp-api.org/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?before=2016-11-29T00:00:00Z

 Maybe the documentation needs to be updated to reflect that?
