Using the local system date format is definitely an option. However, it does not take account of the possibility that one is maintaining a server in (say) the UK and having users based in (say) Denmark. OK, one could cater for that... but what about when one has users in UK *and* Denmark? They each have their own display requirements. And of course, there's also the issue of conveying timezone info... the user in Denmark is in a different timezone to the user in the UK. A timestamp like "08:00" is not the same thing for both users, unless timezone differences are taken into account.
