That being said, I'm thinking that all actual times represented by

I beg to disagree.
If we're going to use an epoch, it should be the Operating System's
epoch. Anything else will lead to confusion and disorder ;P
And which OS epoch would that be?
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epoch_(reference_date)#Computing
I don't care what epoch we standardize on, as long as it's consistent
across platforms.
