I pretty much agree with the above. My personal 12/24 hr preference is
independent of my locale. I have 24hr setting on at least one machine,
even though I'm in the US, just because I'm used to it and it can be
convenient.
Leave it in the Locale Prefs if you like, but duplicate it in the
obvious Time Prefs place.
