Status: Rejected
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale: A Date object representing the value NaN. This is already defined as far as I can tell.
Comment 3 Philip Jägenstedt 2011-05-05 07:40:55 UTC 
Ah, I didn't realize that making a Date object from NaN was possible. It's a date that stringifies to "Invalid Date".
