Comment 2 for bug 1197870

I marked this as "affects me too", not because it particularly affects me, but because it is clearly a code improvement -- provided the locale-specific format-time-string parameters are substituted with locale-independent constructs (in particular, %b expands to the locale's abbreviated month name; I don't know if there is a way to override the locale locally [sic] or if you would have to hard-code, say, a vector of English month names).
