Problem with <output> is that it is half-baked making its usage almost useless.

It would be significantly more practical for the output to have "type" attribute in the same way as in the input.

I did experiment with oputput|type in my Sciter and added these:

   type="text" - default value, no formating
   type="number" - formats content as a number using users locale settings,
   type="currency" - formats content as a currency using users locale settings,
   type="date"  - as a date, no TZ conversion, 
   type="date-local" - as a date in users format, UTC datetime to local,
   type="time" - as a time
   type="time-local" - as a local time, value treated as UTC datetime. 

This way server can provide data without need to know users locale.
