I fail to see how "PHP programmers will be most affected by this" since 
it would equally apply to any web developer using any language.

However, I like the idea but would modify it slightly such that it send 
an RFC 2822 formatted date which will include the timezone but would 
also allow the server to determine if the datetime on the client is 
wrong. This can be important for applications that make extensive use of 
client-side technologies such as Javascript.
