Yes, we can avoid a user-perceptible relayout by hooking into the [`DOMContentLoaded`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document/DOMContentLoaded_event) event. If we were to do a lot of work in the event handler, the user would notice a delayed relayout, but we hardly use this hook for anything yet, and replacing the contents of a few `<time>` tags with formatted dates would be very efficient.

I think this would be easier than ensuring consistency between server- and client-formatted timestamps. As far as I can tell, rails-i18n is one of the few popular internationalization libraries these days that doesn’t directly use CLDR for date formats or their translations.
