It's pretty useless and unreliable since user's clocks/timezone
settings are incorrect far too often...
YMMV
I agree with you, clock settings are incorrect way too often, I just
checked my own, and I see that the time is correct, but the Timezone
is at GMT, while i live in GMT+1, but in summer, it's GMT+2.
That brings me to the next point, what about DST?
I've read your complete draft, and it doesn't say anything about DST,
What should browsers send for my country? +0100 or +0200?

Ps. what's the next thing we send to the browser? We already sent a
lot of info through the user-agent header... Next year we send our
computers specs to the server so that we get a site that is made for
the performance of our computer?
