- 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!!
