How are you currently parsing ISO8601 dates e.g. 2010-02-23T23:04:48Z in JavaScript?

Some browsers return NaN (including Chrome) when using the code below, FF3.6+ works though.

<html>
<body>
  <script type="text/javascript">
  var d = Date.parse("2010-02-23T23:04:48Z");
  document.write(d);
</script>
</body>
</html>
