As for EOD, it's customary to use COB to mean the end of the work-day (sometimes with a time-zone addendum) and to use EOD to virtually mean by the start of business the next day.

I never heard of this before moving north from Raleigh in 1999. Back home, when we wanted something by COB, we said, "today." It's a whole lot more friendly-like and direct.
