It was noticed recently that these blockinfo properties return the internal
value from the database for the blockexpiry field, rather than formatting
them as does list=blocks. This means the formatting is more difficult to
parse, and that it may differ between installations of MediaWiki depending
on the database backend in use, and it doesn't match the formatting of
other timestamps returned by the API.
If anyone objects to this field being changed to be formatted in the same
manner as the expiry field returned by list=blocks, speak up on the
mediawik-api list.[1]
Thanks.
