PicasaWeb seems to be enforcing a requirement that timestamp values
derived from the Exif data (stored as milliseconds since 1970-1-1)
need to be positive.

This is unfortunate, since the Exif standard makes no requirement that
dates be after 1969, so the PicasaWeb application is erroneously
processing Exif dates from before the unix epoch.

1) PicasaWeb should do the Right Thing and properly handle exif data
from before 1970.
2) if Google can't fix the implementation of PicasaWeb to adequately
handle exif input with dates before 1970 it should not invent bad data
and attach a date of "zero"==1970-1-1 to uploaded photos.  It must
print no date, rather than a wrong date.
