I dunno about the rest but I agree that perhaps a proposed HTML tagging
system could accomplish this and do such things as show the current time at
the server's location, show GMT, or show your own local time. This system
could even allow you to create sentences like, "The Northridge Earthquake
in California occurred n years ago."
Someone please submit this idea to the W3, I am recently incredibly busy
with my new job. To slap in a shameless plug: If you want to browse the
net, drink gourmet coffees, and read books & magazines checkout "Java
Connection" which is an internet cafe on 5th street and PCH in Hermosa
Beach. Computer Lab+Starbucks+Borders=Java Connection. Drop by sometime.
