localized date formats

[Bill Moseley]

I would like to simplify our localization of dates and, if possible, just
use this format for timestamps:

$dt->strftime( '%x %X' );


First question, is there any difference between the above and this?

           join ' ' , $dt->format_cldr( $locale->date_format_default,
$locale->time_format_default )

Second, do timezones get localized?   For example, here's the default
formats for "ko":

using format: full    : 2014년 1월 16일 목요일 오후 05시 10분 28초 America/New_York
using format: long    : 2014년 1월 16일 오후 05시 10분 28초 EST
using format: medium  : 2014. 1. 16. 오후 5:10:28
using format: short   : 14. 1. 16. 오후 5:10

Won't be using the "full" format, but showing a timezone is needed.   Can
(or does?) EST get localized?

Thanks,
