Adopt Moment.js?

[jzaefferer]

Moment.js has more date formatting and parsing options. This plugin just provides a little bit of jQuery code to find elements and replace their text content based on some attribute. We could switch to using Moment.js and throw away the custom templates and language files, but its questionable if the remaining jQuery code could justify the continued existence of the plugin.

Maybe we can implement the relative-time parts of Moment.js inside this plugin, while using their language files, at least avoiding the full dependency on Moment.js. Not sure if that's worth it either.

@jzaefferer, I just wanted to open a new issue, but now I don't believe it's reasonable to do that, so will talk about it here.
I don't know whether you will adopt language files from Moment.js. However, it would be great if their relative time model was adopted (because I run into issues I need to fix in Russian localization of Jquery-Prettydate), and if i18n unit testing was possible. Since Russian has 3 plural forms (singular, pseudo-dual and plural), and there's no way to test these in Prettydate. Or, at least, I don't know such a way)

Just use the relative time formatting in moment.js, no need for this plugin really.
