It's a JavaScript Date object, as described here:
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Core_JavaScript_1.5_Reference:Global_Objects:Date

To have it define getTimespan(), you have to load module core/Date:

  app.addRepository("modules/core/Date.js");

No, but it would be great to have. We're mostly using Jabber, but this
is quite limited because of its person-to-person schema. Chris
Zumbrunn once told me he had created a #helma channel on freenode (if
I remember correctly), but when I looked, I couldn't find it. If
anybody gets this running, I'll join.
