And the programmer does not know what the user is 
going to do, nor are systemwide settings the 
proper control.  E.g. Say I have a program which
allows the user to enter names for my specialized
family address book.  The name may be entered into 
that text-box in English, Hebrew, Arabic, Kanji... 
and the next in Hangul, the third Gaelic runes...  
Is there a way to tell it to figure it out at 
execution time from the user's data entry mode 
(language, etc.)... and have it "just work"?

(Ditto for date entries, now that I think of it,
and some of those date entries may be, e.g. 3345BCE
which kind of blows a 1970 base and increment in
seconds out of the water.)
