ACK.

No, you would, because client-side scripts by default use your system-local 
time, and _not_ that of the server.  You would not be able to submit if this 
was done on the server or the server time was used by the client-side 
script, and it was still Sunday there, but not at your location.

Since the author's local time, the server's local time, and the visitor's 
local time may all be different, it appears to be a good idea to settle on 
UTC.

That would be 

<https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date/getUTCDay>

then.
