Basically the summary says it all - JS does not work correctly, as the function 
today.getYear() returns 104 and not 2004 for the current year.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make a short test html with today.getYear() function.
2. Check on returned value

Actual Results:  
The function returned 104

Expected Results:  
The function should imho return 2004
Yes, JS does not work correctly, but it's JScript not JavaScript.
JScript breaks the compatibility after the first version.

BTW, you should use Date.getFullYear() today.
