Following is a response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:

Right--the official definition of the NNMR refers to 0-27 days (does not include 28). However, I think if you compared the alternative definitions, and calculated confidence intervals, they would overlap almost entirely. There would only be a few situations--for example if you were calibrating survey data against vital registration data--in which the difference would be important. But I hope we can update the Guide to DHS Statistics to make the distinction clearer.
