@Antoine,

I had seen a reference on a web site which seemed to imply JavaScript
would interpret localized dates in the format I mentioned earlier...
but it wasn't clear if that functionality was browser specific. I
guess either it was, or the person who wrote the article hadn't
actually tried it!

@Ruben,

Sadly, at least under IE7, "2008-06-30" is *not* parsed correctly by
JavaScript (at least as far as I can tell using FireBug Lite).
According to the Mozilla docs for the Date.parse operation (http://
developer.mozilla.org/En/
Core_JavaScript_1.5_Reference:Global_Objects:Date:parse), the date
format should be the IETF standard. This appears to be a two digit
day, a month (which seems to be textual in many places, but numeric is
also accepted), and a four digit year.

I'm not sure why Eden didn't use the StartTime field. Possibly it was
because he didn't want to require that StartTime was one of the
gathered statistics.

Regards,
Richard
