But JavaScript can't access the timezone information from the OS.

(If there's an obsure way, e.g. via HTTP headers, I don't think authors have
figured that out yet.)

Again: I am *not* proposing that the user enters the timezone manually (at
least not in any usual case), but the browser silently fills this in, in the
background.
