It's not size, it's complexity, the problem is javascript people are
crap, and therefore people won't be doing all this stuff.

Oh yeah it's great, the problem is as I showed before it's also happy
with things like
4.3434234324e12 as a date.
My problem is if anything it's too liberal, not too specific (it's
also not consistent across computer settings which is another problem)
