By the way: what the hell is "[ISO8601], Section 2.4.1"? The ODF standard
refers to ISO 8601:2004; and in that standard, there were *no* section 2.4.1
(or 2.4, for that matter). It included three occurrences of "Julian":

Is the reference to "Julian proleptic calendar" in ODF an error? Is the
reference to the specific standard/pert of the standard an error?</pre>
