Yes, the proposal works for the web pages displayed in the users web browser
and not for other purposes.

About storing the timezone in users preferences for other purposes, I saw on
some web forums, that the user registration page uses JS to autodetect
the timezone (but the user can still change it, it is a regular drop down list,
it is just initialized by JS).
