Of course they would look at locale setting of browser for time/date
formats since they are part of the locale definition.

But available browser locales may not have anything to do with what
language the user is using or prefers to see content in.

Likewise there may not be any defined locale to match the language of the
content.

Available locales will differ from user agent to user agent. And not all
aspects of a particular locale may be available on a specific user agent.

Locale are useful. Usually server side locale sout ions are more complete
implementations. But depending on language of content, should be used with
an understanding of implementation limitations.
