We currently don't define minimum or maximum values for JulianDateinstances. I'm actually pretty sure that minimum and maximum values don't actually exist and the date itself is always valid (obviously still limited by JavaScript Number bounds).
Where we run into problems is trying to actually format really old or far future dates as gregorian strings. For example, zooming out really far on the timeline starts to show undefined labels for dates before 4713 BCE. This may only be a problem for Timeline and Animation, I'm not sure if we display times anywhere else.
We should test our conversion to Gregorian for the far off dates and see if it's the conversion itself that presents a problem or simply how we turn that into a formatted string. I don't have a good solution for now, and I doubt this is a pressing issue anytime soon, but I wanted to write up the issue so that we don't forget about it.
