Yes, I've taken a brief look 1) agreed 2) I got the impression the 'new Date..' is stored as string in the JSON object, and thus it would be indistinguishable from a regular string field with the same content, but if it's just for eval-ing, it works (although I always get goosebumps when I see code in JSON, the next iteration of ecma is introducing parsejson() instead of eval() for exactly this reason). I guess it's about choice. 3) it's ok, as long as you don't use/care about TZ
