But what's "current local" mean on the web? The webserver's timezone?

What I've found works ok is to put the date/time in UTC, but also include
something like 

 21:34  10 April 2001
  (3 hours ago)

  The system's current time is 0:45, 11 April 2001.

This is what pretty much all the date/time stuff on the ekit site does - 
seems to work not too badly.
