Hi,<br>
<br>
I'm implementing support for US week numbers, but there's conflicting<br>
information on the great interweb tubes as to what the standard is.<br>
<br>
Some sources say the US Standard is Week 1 is from Jan 1 to the first Saturday<br>
of the year (which may be less than 7 days) then each following week starts<br>
from Sunday.<br>
<br>
Other sources say Week 1 starts on the first Sunday in the year, with the days<br>
preceeding it being labelled either Week 0 or the last week of the previous<br>
year.<br>
<br>
Finally there's some suggestion the US military uses simple week numbering,<br>
i.e. week 1 starts on Jan 1 and lasts 7 days, with each week following in<br>
order.<br>
<br>
All 3 may even be in regular use and so all will require support.<br>
<br>
A lot of this confusion seems to stem from our dear friends in Redmond who's<br>
aversion to standards leaves them equally unable to correctly implement the US<br>
Week as the ISO Week.<br>
<br>
Beatings with the clue-stick gratefully received.<br>
