I pretty much agree with this too. Maybe some other basic stuff (checking
for leap years?).
All I was saying is that IF it is decided to include things that vary from
place to place, one should try to support some flexibility.

I for one don't think dates are really all that interesting. I think UI
components (or APIs..) are much more important. But also much harder to get
right.
