[edit] Leap year rule
The rule determining whether a year has 53 weeks, will be more complicated than a leap year rule, especially if the variation of the equinox and solstice dates is less than two weeks.
Incorrect. Gregorian-level accuracy can be achieved with this simple rule: Leap weeks are added in multiples of 5 except for multiples of 40 not divisible by 400.
Equal complexity to the Gregorian calendar's leap day rule.
- I was just about to make the same coment. Let's remove this line, shall we? By the way, I do wonder what the equinoxes and solstices have to do with it. Jimp 7Sep05
[edit] External links: ISO leap years link wrong
The lnk goes to the CCC&T site, and lists leap weeks according to that calendar. This is wrong because different leap year rules were used to derive the list (CCC&T uses unspecified astronomical data - ISO 8601 is derived from the underlying gregorian year) and because the CCC&T calendar begins on Sunday rather than Monday, meaning that start dates cannot be matched.
