Date attributes on HTMLTimeElement

If I understand correctly, the intention is for the Date identifier in
HTML 5’s IDL to mean an ECMAScript Date object.  What’s the point of
having separate date/time/timezone attributes on HTMLTimeElement?  Is
there any advantage over just having a single attribute where the date,
time and timezone information are all in the one Date object?
