I updated to Safari 3.2 on Windows (which looks it also has WebKit 525.27.1) and you're right, it is now showing "number" instead of "object". I guess this was changed not too long ago. So then my question is: why was it changed? And seeing as Opera, WebKit, and Gecko are in agreement now to return a number rather than a Date in ECMAScript, will the DOM 3 Core spec be updated? Or will this get rolled into Web DOM Core and/or HTML5?
