This was brought up on specifiction:
http://discourse.specifiction.org/t/navigator-timezone/152
Does anyone know why it was left out of the first version of the Intl API? Just
for lack of time? Is it planned for the next edition? Are there tricky issues
around standardizing IANA time zones, or around incompatibilities between
different OSes?
Interesting questions in that thread about what to do about time zone changes.
An event for time zone changes seems important, but we don't currently have any
precedent for standard library events in ECMAScript. Maybe that remains the
purview of web APIs. But if we do expose the TZ via a standard API, it should
have some way of dynamically querying the current TZ rather than just fixing
the time zone at some random point in time.
