Also the system locale should provide you with the standard 
representation for the configured country/language.

First the date format (International ISO 8601 vs US standard):

	yyyy-mm-dd
	mm/dd/yyyy

Then the time format (12h vs 24h):

	23:59:59
	11:59:59 PM

Certainly.  In speech it is best to tell the date and time as close as a 
human would, but that pauses huge localisation challenges.
