Bug Description
There's no JSON standard for representing dates. We've adopted a quasi-standard where we represent them as ISO8661 strings. We can help out our clients further by declaring date fields as dates in the generated WADL. Launchpadlib can pick up this information and convert the values for date fields into Python Datetime objects.

Isn't the proper thing to do here to declare these fields as e.g. type xsd:date?
