Description
Our application expose values as DATE and VARIANT (VT_DATE). Legacy JS-code for IE/WebBrowser assume these these are compatible with JS Date() and moment.js
Current numeric value is a straight cast from DATE to double. In our application JS Date would be a better fit.
We have not yet found any viable workaround for this issue.

Research direction
No repository file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing the Win32 WebView2 behavior with COM DATE and VARIANT (VT_DATE) values, then trace how they are exposed to JavaScript; done means the values interoperate with JavaScript Date() and moment.js without remaining numeric-only behavior.
