tx method lacks date field

[mpj]

The response from the tx endpoint does not contain a date field. I expect that it should, but there might be some reason for it not to. Starting this issue to get clarity.

Made the following request to https://live.stellar.org:9002 a few minutes ago: Request:

{
      "method": "tx",
      "params": [
        {

No it doesn't have a date. Currently you would have to look up the ledger it occurred in and use that date.
