Apart from the fact that Safari uses this, do we have to stick to the
Unix epoch? I know it's classic and all, but I wouldn't expect events
to occur in the past, so that's 36 years' worth of milliseconds gone
to waste (over 10^12). Would there be a big issue starting with, say,
2000-01-01T00:00:00.0Z (or even 2006)?
