Description Andrey Botalov 2014-03-15 09:23:01 UTC 
Web IDL seems to define Date not as a number of seconds (http://www.w3.org/TR/WebIDL/#idl-Date).

Also it tells that expiry can be "-1" but Date doesn't allow it to be "-1". I think it's better to define expiry as nullable instead.

I think the following is better:
"The time when cookie should be deleted. This SHOULD be set or MUST be null if unknown."

Also there seems to be a typo in a row above:
"The domain the cookie is visible too"
->
"The domain the cookie is visible to"
