That's part of (a) and is very product dependent. On Java you can get the
Locale appropriate to a particular country, on .NET the equivalent is a
Culture. With Saxon the XSLT processor will pick up the implicit timezone
from the Java default locale, which you can set using Java calls before
invoking Saxon.
