Re: How to define a CALSCALE?

[Nathaniel Borenstein <nsb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think this would be a very illuminating enterprise.  Although we 
shouldn't need to delay CAP for it as long as we resolve the 
CAP-VERSION ambiguities, I think it would be very good if several 
people were beginning to think about how to define new CALSCALEs.

There are lots of fun issues.  For example, the Hebrew calendar 
includes the delightful concept of a leap month which is *not* the last 
month of the year.  Makes you want to be careful with using numeric 
values for years, doesn't it?  -- Nathaniel
