452580 - In an XSLT generated document, JavaScript command "document.lastModified" returns the Epoch

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Gadjetor]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; fr; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008070208 Firefox/3.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; fr; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008070208 Firefox/3.0.1

The web page is an XML file, with an XSLT style sheet.
The XSLT style sheet contains some HTML code. The tag "<script>" is linked with a JavaScript file.
In this web page, I want to display the XML document's last modified date, but the JavaScript attribute "document.lastModified" contains the Epoch.

I understand the document is not the XML file, but a new document created on the fly by Firefox to transform the XML file with the XSLT style sheet.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to the webpage http://gadjetor.free.fr/SNCF/journees.xml
2. see in the top right corner the sentence "mis à jour le xx/xx/xx à xx:xx" (means "last updated the xx/xx/xx xx:xx")
Actual Results:  
The sentence displays the Epoch (01/01/70 00:00)

Expected Results:  
The sentence must display the last modified date of the XML document.

I try the same page with :
- Internet Explorer 7.0
- Safari 3.1
- Opera 9.52
And it works every time : the date is correct.

I tried also some old Firefox builds but it has never worked.
