This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
2.5.5.8 Weeks http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/single-page.html#weeks This section defines 'weeks'. The rules for weeks and week counting are culturally linked, but these rules define week start as always Monday. The rule for determining the "first week" that it includes the first Thursday (again, a culturally variant value). Shouldn't there be provision for allowing culturally specific week rules be applied? Or must this strictly be in terms of "ISO weeks"?
What's the use case for anything other than ISO weeks?

HTML5.1 Bugzilla Bug Triage: Incubation needed Not clear on the use case or demand for such a feature. This bug constitutes a request for a new feature of HTML. Our current guidelines, rather than track such requests as bugs or issues, is to create a proposal for the desired behavior, or at least a sketch of what is wanted (much of which is probably contained in this bug), and start the discussion/proposal in the WICG (https://www.w3.org/community/wicg/). As your idea gains interest and momentum, it may be brought back into HTML through the Intent to Migrate process (https://wicg.github.io/admin/intent-to-migrate.html).
