Well, yes - on desktop screens. And displaying current time on a web page is mostly pointless or worse.

For example, if you have created an HTML5 application (HTML+CSS+JavaScript that works like an application in a browser) that you expect people to use mostly in pocket-size devices, there might be good reasons for including time display. Perhaps even if the time does not relate to the functionality of the application. After all, many people have no watch these days, they look at their "phone" to see what time it is. -- Yucca, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/
