satisfied with this response, please change the state of this bug to CLOSED. If
you have additional information and would like the editor to reconsider, please
reopen this bug. If you would like to escalate the issue to the full HTML
Working Group, please add the TrackerRequest keyword to this bug, and suggest
title and text for the tracker issue; or you may create a tracker issue

Status: Rejected
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale: By design, HTML supports only ISO weeks, because week numbers are
used in the kind of communication one would use forms for mainly in locales
that use ISO weeks. The spec doesn't aim for theoretical completeness but for
addressing actual use cases.

(It's not just a matter of Monday vs. Sunday. It's also a matter of the
numbering rule. Supporting non-ISO weeks would make the feature unwieldy.)
