Description Jim Michaels 2013-03-22 00:06:25 UTC 
ecmascript 262 15.9.1.14 TimeClip(time) does not define/explain what time is or how to build it. all that is said is that it is a Number, but there are no semantics regarding this Number. for example, is it supposed to be 
time = ms + seconds*1000 + minutes*1000*60 + hours*60*60*1000
?
is it milliseconds, or is it something else? please explain in the spec.
