A really easy way to repro this bug is to stick in a file:

<html><head><script>alert(document.lastModified);</script></head><body/></html>

Open it from a file:/// URL, you'll get a blank alert. Put it on a Web server,
you'll get the actual last modified date.

document.lastModified is not part of the HTML4 specification, but it did make
it into HTML5. HTML5 is very specific about how the value should be returned
(as a precisely formatted string, which seems odd to me... why not use a
DOMTimestamp or whatever it's called?) and mandates that document.lastModified
returns the "source file's last modification", which seems pretty clear to me
that it should return the correct date for local files.
