But that's the beauty of it, you wouldn't need to.  All the JS cares is
the local timezone of the browser that's accessing it.  The only reason
the server needs to know is the fallback timezone to use for the
noscript block.  The JS block he gave asks the browser to use its own
timezone in the conversion.
