Comment:

 This is looking really good @aduth, thanks for putting so much work into
 this feature!

 The issues you raised around Dates are important and were a serious pain
 point when developing the wp-api Backbone client - in particular the new
 draft post_status case where the `{}_gmt` dates are returned as `null`
 from the api. I think the timezone offset is adequate here. I'd love to
 see us include Moment.js and possibly Moment-Timezone for better date
 support, these are great libraries.

 One possible issue with the API returning `_gmt` when the database doesn't
 have a gmt date is that sending back that same data (when saving the post
 again) will cause unexpected results.

 I wonder how we can address the underlying issue with null `_gmt` dates in
 the database and still cover the goal of #5698?
