+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #21289 +++

Users sometimes need to switch locale settings on their device. When this
happens, the value of navigator.language is changed (or should be!). It would
be nice if HTML provided some means to be notified that the change had taken
place. 

The application can then use this information to perform appropriate
localization changes on the client side. For example, reformatting DOM elements
that contain times and dates to better suit the new locale information (this
could work together with the  ECMAScript i18n API).
