When SpiderMonkey tried to implement an early error for cases like this:
alert(08)
as the current spec draft requires, we got bug reports about web sites
being broken as a result. Specifically, there were two issues we
discovered:
1) Things like new Date(2013,08,12);
2) Servers sending things like account numbers as numeric literals,
complete with leading zeros [yes, I know, this is so broken, they're
still doing it].
I believe we'll be backing out this change; it doesn't seen to be worth
the web compat hit.
