I have noticed this on quite a few routes.

In what way does min/max date params differ from fromdate/todate?

Edit

Actually when I look at it closer, the min/max say that they are context sensitive to the sort type.

How is a date min/max valid when sorting by, for instance votes?

Is this an oversight? I am assuming so when I change the tag to [bug].

Feel free to correct me if I am mistaken or missing something.
