      Description

      Transcribed from ODF_Revised_Editorial_Notes_27May2009.odt

      Original author: Patrick Durusau
      Section 17.345 number:calendar

      Ed. Note We don't define any of these calendars, directly or by reference. ISO 29500 was heavily criticized for this same failure. BTW, how is the "default calendar system for the locale of the data style" set?

      Note:
      Former 17.345 is 18.344 in OpenDocument-v1.2-part1-cd03-editor-revision-rev03.odt, corrected in Summary field.
      'gengou' is misspelled as 'genou'.

          Calendar defaults, like most locale defaults, are typically given by the platform (OS), not the application. So we may not be able to say much about them.

          Should look at ISO/IEC 27500 – OOXML, Part I at 22.9.2.1 ST_CalendarType (Calendar Types) where citations for a number of these calendars are given.

          There seem to be few, if any, authoritative references for calendars or how to exactly calculate them. The most comprehensive sites and books I found are:

          Authoritative reference on a wealth of topics related to computational
          geodesy and astronomy. Various calendars are described in depth, including
          techniques for interconversion.
