Comment:

 This does not seem to be the case with Firefox.  On Mac OS, Windows 7, and
 Ubuntu I always get this format:
   3/26/2015, 3:02:40 PM
 Each of the systems I tested on are set for U.S. / English, so I guess
 that might be the difference.  I did not spend a lot of time on it, but I
 quickly got lost reading src/builtin/Date.js and js/src/builtin/Intl.cpp.
