[whatwg] Dates BCE

I note in http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#valid-date-string
that "Dates before the year zero can't be represented as a datetime in
this version of HTML." This seems a serious omission. Why can we
represent the birth of Nero but not the birth of Julius Caesar? Are
there plans to rectify it?
