I have a need to format times as either

        24:mm

or

        12:mm
          am

That is, if the user prefers a 24-hour clock, I want it to appear on a single 
line. If the user prefers a 12-hour clock, I want the  AM/PM designator to be 
rendered underneath the time (in smaller type).

Unfortunately, there's no format specifier for the hours of the day that 
indicates "use the user's preferred format."

If I could determine the user's preference, then I'd just format it 
appropriately. Alternatively, I can use the "short" format style, and then 
parse out the AM/PM, but that seems more fragile across locales (are there 
locales that use something other than "am" and "pm"?).

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Rick
