Thanks, Rob, but I still think giving a user a choice is more
flexible.

That's not an HTML question; it's grossly off-topic. Besides, your premises
are wrong. Time formats and time zones are completely different issues
(orthogonal, as we say in pseudomathematical jargon).

Oh, and consider yourself plonked for continued disturbance: you are just
adding noise to the group.

What you need to do is go to the unicode.org Common Locale Data
Repository. It has the countries, and time format information you are
seeking.

Next, when a visitor comes to your site, you need to look at their
language preference string (Accept-Language header) and follow it.

For example, en_US is 12 hour, en_GB is 24 hour, while en_AU is 12 Hour.
Most other European countries are 24 hour.
