But also in this case translation/language has no meaning here, because of the time zone in dates, East Coast Time presentation will be different than London time presentation, it can have the same structure (mm/dd/yyyy [0-11]:[0-59] am/pm) but values should be different.

Yes, i agree that "english date" is slightly confusing but with the in the context of the additional examples i thought it adequately described the problem.

I agree with your description of the value of datetime with regards to timezone as a facet of the value.

Without any lang resolution within the representation, i agree that the presentation should follow the user's choice locale.

No disagreements here.
