There's a big thread at https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=22824 about why Date is bad, but the short of it is that if you have a Date-valued attribute it will return a new Date object every single time you do the get. This means that you get things like: if (foo.expired == foo.expired) // Always tests false! So how about making the expiration the number of milliseconds since the Unix epoch after which the license expires? This can then be passed into a JavaScript Date() constructor if desired. NaN can be returned when the expiration is not known. 106923 1 ddorwin 2014-05-28 17:26:21 +0000 Are you proposing to use UnrestrictedDouble? UnsignedLongLong would also work (the Date() constructor takes an integer) but would not support NaN. 106925 2 bzbarsky 2014-05-28 17:43:09 +0000 "unrestricted double" would work here, yes. 108302 3 watsonm 2014-06-24 21:39:07 +0000 https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/html-media/rev/78799a7b0a9d
