Rhino is a standalone language engine. Any JS bugs that occur
within the browser should be filed against:
JavaScript Engine (if the bug does not involve any DOM functionality)
DOM Level 0 (otherwise)
Reassigning to JavaScript Engine, although this bug happens to
be invalid. I will say more below -

Product: Rhino → Browser
Summary: Javascript reports now.year() (of 2002) as 102 → JavaScript reports now.getYear() (of 2002) as 102

Have to mark this one invalid; sorry. The getYear() method
should not be used here. Instead, use the getFullYear() method.
For references on this issue, including how Microsoft and
Netscape came to differ on the behavior of getYear(), see:
bug 22964
bug 45764
bug 151912
bug 155995
The ECMA-262 Edition 3 spec for the language, which also
explains this, is at http://www.mozilla.org/js/language.
