This is upside down in my opinion ... Me, as a service, would like yo notify you based on where you are. You as a user with a specific timezone in mind can always ask for it explicitly ... I'm thinking about navigations based on your location, not something easy to polifill client side only via some Date instance. You know what i mean? Painfull either way, but more painful if i have to guess on JS side where the hack are you and what's the time in there, despite your OS based one. Maybe these two can coexist ?

For example, on a flight from San Francisco to Frankfurt I care about Pacific Time and Central European Time, but not the other time zones I fly over. There are also locations for which there is no well-defined mapping to a time zone, e.g., disputed border areas or regions where different population groups use different time zones.
