My pocket calendar states that according to swedish standard (which it claims was derived from ISO rules and formally accepted 1972): " .... Monday is regarded as the first day of the week, and the first week which has at least four days of the new year is week 1 ..." Apparently some international committee decided on how to number weeks 15 years ago!! It takes some courage to produce and publish a standard document when you know that at any time somebody may stumble on proud words of days past. Keep up the good work!!
