I believe I heard somewhere that the ISO standard for numbering weeks of
the year calls for week 1 to be the first week of the year which contains a
Thursday. I'm not 100% sure of the definition but I know there is one so
you might want to adjust your procedure to conform to it. That way it will
hopefully be useful to a wider audience.

Anyone know of the official definition of "week of the year" numbering or a
source for determining it?
