[Bug 237341]

[John-tradoc]

Looking back at this relatively old bug, I wonder whether the lack of
agreement on categories (and hence the lack of progress) might be at
least partly because the preferred categorisation varies from locale to
locale. None of those who complain about the existing categories seem to
be English-language users, and that can't be entirely a coincidence.

It would be perfectly possible in theory to define a structure whereby
different locales can choose their own categorisation depending whether
the mindset in their locale conceptualises a "week" as last-7
-consecutive-days or as a calendar week.

I've no idea, though, whether the current i18n/l10n structures allow for
a choice like this. Maybe this would need to be a (hidden?) preference,
with corresponding UI strings to be translated for both paradigms.
