Florian Müller commented on CMIS-732:
-------------------------------------

The date mapping corresponds to the JavaScript Date object. Negative numbers represent dates before 1970.

>             Project: OASIS Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) TC
>          Issue Type: Task
>          Components: Browser Binding
>    Affects Versions: V1.1
>            Reporter: Jens Hübel
>            Priority: Minor

> Section 5.2.4 Mapping Schema Elements to JSON:
> CMIS datetime property is defined as number indicating milliseconds since 1970/01/01
> This limits the date range to use only dates after 1970. This restriction is not known in the domain model and not present in the other two bindings. This can potentially be a severe limitation for some applications.We need to specify how to handle dates before 1970
> Possible solution:
> Some people seem to use ISO 8601 strings (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601)
> Remark: Microsoft uses a different syntax but has the same restriction (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb299886.aspx)
