Well, you can assume that the hour is displayed only once, so you can search
for the hour formatters. Don't look for delimiters, just look for anything
that isn't the hour template.
If the hour is displayed more than once, declare the behaviour undefined.

Indeed, but it can get silly pretty quickly if you start to store more
information, like "how to display the hour in the 1950s", "how to display the
phase of the moon". The locale database has to contain relevant information,
since it's already quite big today.
