https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=15987

           Summary: [IndexedDB] Invalid dates should not be valid keys
           Product: WebAppsWG
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Indexed Database API
        AssignedTo: dave.null@w3.org

Section 3.1.3 Keys:

"... A value is said to be a valid key if it is one of the following types:
Array JavaScript objects [ECMA-262], DOMString [WEBIDL], Date [ECMA-262] or
float [WEBIDL]. ... Additionally, if the value is of type float, it is only a
valid key if it is not NaN. Conforming user agents must support all valid keys
as keys."

Just as NaN floats are not valid keys, invalid dates - i.e. dates where the
internal double (revealed by date.valueOf()) is NaN - should not be considered
valid keys as these cannot be "compared to other Date values chronologically"
