Comment:

 Chrome decides that the datestring is in the local timezone if not
 otherwise specified.  Firefox decides that the datestring is in UTC if not
 otherwise specified (WebKit has not yet weighed in).  So, using the native
 {{{Date.parse}}} we get different behavior across implementations.  To get
 consistency, we won't use the native {{{Date.parse}}}.
