Human-readable (relative) dates and times #16

Description

When people think about events and tasks, it is often more important to quickly see what the duration is between the current time and the event or due date than the exact time and date itself. Calculating this duration is a mental task that software should handle for people. This is relevant for the task list and the event list, and also for dates in contacts: e.g., age as calculated from birthday. Such a human-readable date and time could be used as a replacement for or additionally to the exact date and time.

There are existing JavaScript libraries that handle this, http://momentjs.com/ for example.
