The datetime taglib already has support for internationalization
by using Locale.
I think your suggestion has merit. It would be natural to have
all tags that implement data types that support (internationalization)
using Locale in one taglib.
Why not a new taglib that combines i18n, datetime, currency,
and any other data types that support Locale. I think a
better name than "format" could be used, not sure what.
I would vote +0 on this since I don't have time to help.
