Not to comment on the proposal (which I certainly don't endorse), but please note that you've oversimplified timezones. There's something like a +13, there are a couple of +/- x:30, and there's at least one which is +x:15 or x:45. You also discount DST which is its own complicated mess. This also requires an incredibly complicated database which most vendors won't manage to maintain. Conversely, it would be possible for a network connected application to actually get this information today, using a service like Internet time and date - http://www.timeanddate.com/time/map/ API in my opinion should only be created when they require information that an application is unlikely to be able to get correctly on its own without the UA's assistance. --------------------------------------------------------------------- This transmission (including any attachments) may contain confidential information, privileged material (including material protected by the solicitor-client or other applicable privileges), or constitute non-public information.
