<div dir="ltr">I did some searching through the archives, but didn't find anything at all that talked about this. Out of curiousity, was there a reason that datetime doesn't store/send it's value as a unix timestamp? True, the standard unixtime unit is insufficient for representing a useful range of dates, but systems are gradually moving toward representing unixtime with a 64-bit integer.<br>
<br>If there is a problem with handling 64-bit integers in browsers, it is easy enough to merely store it as a string, which can then be parsed trivially back into an int by the server, much easier than parsing a datetime string as currently specified would be.<br>
<br>There is an obvious issue that you would lose the millisecond precision, but this may or may not be significant.<br><br>~TJ<br></div>
