For reference, I noticed the official(?) jQuery version of the glob- lib resides here: https://github.com/jquery/jquery-global For some reason the "nje" and "jQuery" version don't link to each other, rather a manual fork. The jQuery version has dropped the lib-neutral support but is still very close to "nje", it currently seems to be more active, has unit- tests etc. But at time of writing this the actual code- and doc-diff is just couple of minor fixes and tweaks.
Also, to clarify, one thing that's not included in jQuery-glob but included in Closure i18n, is timezone detection and handling (thought not the complete offset listing). Well, I'm currently evaluating this in an actual app, I'll see what I learn.
