Re: Can servlet know the timezone of the browser?

People may differ in what they think of as a locale. We tend to take a
narrow view, that it is principally items that differ according to
language, thus excluding other items like preferred timezone,
preferred currency, preferred character set, smoker/non-smoker
preference, meal preference (vegetarian, kosher, etc.), music
preference, religion, party affiliation, favorite charity, etc.

It is not that these other items may not be important; they may very
well be, depending on the application. And thus one may need to
communicate them. But they don't necessarily belong in an
all-encompassing 'locale'.
