It would be terribly confusing if some parts of an en-us page would use
en-gb or even de-de formatting without extremely clear indication, so
this sounds rather unlikely to me. As a user I would not even know what
any given browser installation considers my "platform locale" to be. If
I visit a en-us page in a en-us browser set to prefer en-gb content on a
de-de Windows system, it'd be rather unpredictable how to inrerpret any
possibly localised content.
