Whoopsie! I'm skating on thin ice, but the water below it is
not dangerous, I trust. I was going a bit too far afield,
being utterly non-standard, especially in suggesting that
both the week of the year and the day of the year would be
combined; apparently, that is not usually done.

I downloaded your PowerPoint file (my, I love broadband!) and
read it in Quick View; saved it in my archives. (I don't keep
M$ Office installed; have Ofc. 97, if I really need it.) Very
nice, indeed. Time intervals were quite unexpected.

Here's another doc. about ISO 8601:

It's by Markus Kuhn, known to i18n people.

Many thanks!

Btw, I might, perhaps, be lurking much more than posting in
the near future, following the principle that if you don't
have anything to say, don't say it! (^_^)
