The proper implementation would be to separate the
timestamp logic
(calculating how long ago, adjusting based on user timezone preferences,
etc.) and the language logic (getting messages for the day of the week,
formatting the date and time, actually making the message).
Then, have MWTimestamp process the timestamp and then pass the data onto
Language to do the formatting. That way it happens transparently.
If you're passing the output of MWTimestamp to Language, it's not
transparent. If you want to do it transparently, you have to keep the
accessor in MWTimestamp and pass a Language object (which I've
already argued against).
I see no harm in using MWTimestamp in Language, but please let's
not do it the other way around.
