ummary:
Safari: Geolocation Position timestamp is incorrect according to W3C Spec

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run the attached geolocation.html file (the code is in it)
2. Press the "Get Location" button
3. Note the Position timestamp value

Expected Results:
The Position timestamp value should be in milliseconds, and based off the Unix epoch of Jan 1, 1970. This is the value based on the W3C Geolocation Spec. http://dev.w3.org/geo/api/spec-source.html
Mobile Safari, Google Chrome, Firefox 4 all exhibit this expected behaviour, while Desktop Safari is the odd man out.

Actual Results:
The Position timestamp value is in seconds, and based off the reference date of Jan 1, 2001.

Regression:

Still an issue

In case anyone is looking, this is still an issue as of Safari on Mac 14.1.1
