Crucially, that number could represent the number of seconds, or the number of milliseconds since Unix epoch (e.g. Date.getTime() in Java)

You kinda have to guess from context that if it's a 10-digit number, it's probably seconds.

Fair point, types should be documented, but them again that's hardly a requirement nowadays, right?
