Comment # 6 on bug 1228104 from Felix Miata

There /are/ US users besides me who want better too. iso8600 as default
regardless of locale would be nothing but win for everyone. Every day has 24
discrete hours of 60 minutes of 60 seconds each. So worldwide should clocks.
Inches and feet had their uses, but the economy has been global for well over a
century. Every measurement should default to simple-to-understand metric and
decimal points. Make it so those who wish to be different have to do the extra
work, rather than those who appreciate universally sensible standards.
