I don't think they'll print a bag tag all the way through with the 23-hour connection. As sbm12 points out, there is a limit, and 12 hours sounds right, IIRC, from the last time this came up.

As for EWR, they will not accept bags more than X hours before a flight (I think it's 6). They can probably fudge it a bit, but it's highly unlikely you'll get them to take the bags at 23 hours out.
