Can you give one example of the word "till" being used in this manner, to mean "everything I just said changed, but not at the moment I describe, but at some indeterminate point in the future."

The Steeler won 4 Superbowls in the 70's but didn't win another til 20006. :-)

Technically, the 4th Super Bowl was in 1980, following the 79 season. And yes, it's all good.

I hate to correct your grammer, but I believe your sentence should have read:

The Steelers...won't win another until 20006..
