In the Proleptic Gregorian calendar as specified in ISO 8601 and implemented 
by implementations of ECMA-262-3 and later, year 0 is equivalent to 1 BCE:

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_zero>

AFAICS, the result for Y === 0 is only wrong (not as specified) if N < 366 
and one expects a date that is not in 1900 CE.  This behavior of the Date 
constructor has historical reasons, but, as I showed, can be worked around.


Unfortunately, although your address header fields have changed, they are 
still invalid, so I have augmented my killfile with their new values.  Note 
that you are not only disregarding Netiquette, but also violating the Terms 
of Use of your service provider which “may result in immediate account 
revocation”.
