Date() type not handled properly

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create GridFS entry
2. Click update for an entry the files collection
3. Click save without modifying anything

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Since the "uploadDate" field was represented as a string in the update textbox, 
it was also saved as a string. Because of that, the entry is no longer GridFS 
compliant, as the specification states that uploadDate must be a Date type.

As a result, the JAVA driver (and possibly other ones too) crash due to type 
conversions when trying to load such an entry. (tries to cast field into a Date 
object when it's in fact a String)

What version of the product are you using?
v1.0.11

On what operating system?
Ubuntu

Web server and PHP version:
Apache/PHP5

Please provide any additional information below.
This is also an issue for non gridFS documents. The default behaviour should be 
that in the update textbox, dates are represented as
"field" : new Date("Thu, 24 Feb 2011 00: 44: 31 +0200")
as opposed to current:
"field" : "Thu, 24 Feb 2011 00: 44: 31 +0200"
