No, but it does explain how to interpret a sequence of digits as an integer (multiplying the value by 10 for each digit encountered). And defines that week is a period of 7 days. And defines how many days there are in each month of a year. And even states the blindingly obvious: The 'week number of the last day' of a week-year with 53 weeks is 53; the 'week number of the last day' of a week-year with 52 weeks is 52. Those things all seem much more obvious to me than working out which day January 1st of a given year is. But as I said, I'm not a browser developer so perhaps it's fine. Smylers
