--- Comment #1 from Alexey Proskuryakov <ap at webkit.org> ---
I suspect that JavaScriptCore ends up using bundle localization for default locale, which actually feels correct - it's not great when browser UI and webpage content use different languages and formats. Safari happens to have "en", "en_AU" and "en_GB" localizations, but no "en_NZ".

> If en-NZ is not supported, then I would probably expect to default to en-AU, and failing that en-GB. Both of those locales are more similar to en-NZ than en-US is.

That's a good idea. Unlike the main issue reported here, such logic definitely wouldn't be in WebKit though, it would be in Foundation. WebKit relies on underlying system to resolve locales, so Foundation would need to decide that en_AU should be used instead of the default. Please feel welcome to file a bug for Apple to consider via https://bugreport.apple.com
