- Funny, did someone crossposted this in comp.std.internat recently? The
- same question was asked. According to keld@login.dkuug.dk (Keld J|rn
- Simonsen), the ISO standard on week numbering is 8601. The standard
- basically says what has been posted already -- that the week containing
- the first Thursday is week number 1.
