I personally very much prefer the Monday to be first
because it is more practical, e.g. 
subtype working_day_type is day_type range mon..fri;

I only can vote for monday in a democracy ;-)
i.e.  I do not want to ignite a flame war with
people from different cultures.
We had these discussions several times and we did not
find consensus. So my hope is in favor of M=1     :-)
