In fact I didn't wondere that - but why the constant was an object and 
not just a string - but the reason seems to be necessary conversion and 
pure string would not worked
maybe
myDate.date=1142095231
or
temp.myDate.date= 1142095231
(I personally use the standard page module, not TemplaVoila)

I have used just pure string constants and using objects in constants 
was new for me
