Well yes. If you want to do something outside the normal AppleScript
brief, you have to work round it. But then it's no good blaming
AppleScript for the "inelegant" code.
If the script's distributed in _compiled_ form, however, everyone who
looks at the source code in their script editor will see the compiled
date in their own local format, so the original scripter doesn't have to
think about it and neither do his/her co-workers in other locales.
(For anyone still trying to follow the various themes in this thread,
this post relates to "building" an AppleScript date by changing the
properties of another.)
