| For at least the last two and a half thousand years Sunday has been
| the first day of the week. How on Earth can ISO decide to run
| counter to the whole (well almost) of humanity and announce that
| Monday is the "standard" first day of the week. I find this somewhat
| pathetic.

Both French and Spanish calendars start with Monday. (lunes/lundi)
