Status: RESOLVED INACTIVE

Build Identifier: 

The Rhino implementation of NativeDate uses a lot of statics, and gets the timezone from the JVM.  But for use running user code server-side, it would be much better if the timezone could be set by a user profile or preference for an execution context.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  var d = new Date();
2.  d.toString()  prints Fri Aug 21 2009 19:46:28 GMT-0700 (PDT)
it would be nice if it could print in the user's local timezone (and if d.setHours could use an hour representation for the user's timezone, not the jvm's)
