Even in our own culture, there is an alternate scheme, used
(afaik) in industry for date coding, and perhaps elsewhere.

Each week of a year is numbered, and the day of the year,
also; today is W 4 D 23, for instance, early in the morning.

It becomes more abstruse as the year unfolds.

One needs to consider with some care how to define the first
week of a year, btw. IIrc, if it contains a Thursday, it is
the first week, but that implies that the first day of a week
would be Monday. (Then, would a week in which 1 Jan. is
Friday be part of the preceding year, by this scheme? I guess
so; I don't know.)

TClockEx, by Dale Nurden of South Africa:

to display the day and week of the year.)
