Precisely. The client could be anyone and anything located anywhere in
the world. So what sense does it make to set a specific locale on the
server?

I never said the contrary and did not address the subject of validation
at all. I simply meant that when writing portable PHP code, having to
take care of different server locales may be extra work without any
benefit to the end users whose locales may be different from the
server's anyway.
